I need a gaming pc under $650.
I need a full computer and i need it to be able to run Mine craft, Dayz, Call of Duty and other games like these.
Also i was wondering if it was better to have a WiFi or Ethernet for the computer and which will be faster connection
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out thanks!

You can drop the cooler and it will bring you to $640, but you'll lose OCing capability ( the cooler is something you can always pick up later however, and you only need it if you're OCing ). Thai build will play most games on high. If you don't need an OS you can get a r9 280 which plays most games on ultra
