Hey ya'll, ive recently been getting into PC Gaming and want to have my own machine. I have researched a crap ton but my budget keeps getting broken. please help. also i want to include my OS in the budget. I am getting Windows 8.1 but at a student discount for around 60 bucks.

Thanks guys for your help.

PS. would rather have a nvidia card. preferably an EVGA Brand

You need to be careful. Usually the Student version of an operating system is an "upgrade" version which means you have to have another, earlier version that is eligible for the upgrade. Would you mind terribly to re-check and confirm?

Note: Please go with Nvidia if you want to record using Shadowplay because AMD are as good for a cheaper price.
