Hey there everyone! By the time summer ends I'd like to build my new gaming pc. I'm planning on using it for:
1: Modded Minecraft
2: Team Fortress 2
3: CS:GO
4: Skyrim

Nothing really intensive. I'd like to be able to play modpacks with over 250+ mods and get flawless fps. (Over 40, constant) Thank you for your time!
*** ALSO ***
I DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE OS.
So, upgrade whatever you want, I have an extra 100$ to spend. :)

For another $100 I would add an SSD.

Thank you. I'm going to be doing more than those games.. As of now, I can't do anything else, as my 450$ Laptop can't handle them.

Games like Minecraft are more CPU intensive than GPU intensive so I hear, so you may want to invest a bit more into the CPU and less into the GPU than you would normally do in a gaming build.
