hello

so i was planning to build a pc mostly for web browsing, however i would also like to play a few games on it. maybe some 2012 or earlier games+some indie games (AssaultCube, OpenArena) maybe minecraft as well. i am under a budget of around $200. so i was wondering what processor i should choose. another thing on my mind is that i will not use a GPU because i will just the use the integrated graphics. im choosing between some processors with integrated graphics. what do you thik i should pick? Intel Pentium G2030 or AMD A4-4000? while at it, what makes better integrated graphics: INTEL or AMD? should i buy an Intel with HD Graphics or an AMD APU?

Intel is better, but expensive. I will see what I can throw together. And for 200 dollars? No do... Maybe 300.

You have up to 32gb of ram you can add, some upgrade paths like changing the CPU, getting a Gpu, case has great airflow, PSU is great and reliable :) , since you aren't looking at demanding titles 4GB of ram should be enough.

Atleast go 2x2gb please. Your graphics are entirely dependant on the ram.
