Best Gaming PC $380 Budget!

John Minks · Sep 12, 2014

Hey this is my first time building a PC and I want to know how good of a PC I can make for $380. I don't really know a lot about the parts so I'm really relying on the builds given to me. It would be appreciated if you used this case for the build http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-case-vn40006w2n or this case. Which ever one works better with the build its a miniatx tower http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cougar-case-spike

I would suggest on adding an extra $30 so you can get a GTX 660 which is far better than a GTX 750 Ti

smog0 :

hey in canada I added up the tax and everything and it ended up to be like $570 but for the other build it ended up being $480

Okay then I would suggest waiting till you get more money things are more expensive here sadly :/
