Hey everybody I'm mike . I was pointed to this website when I was discussing building a new gaming computer

I have been gaming sadly with a toshiba laptop and believe it's time to upgrade to the real deal I looking to spend around $800.00 (usd) including my keyboard and monitor.

I would like the inside to look decent as I would like a clear sided case with LEDs (eventually this will not be required in the price but want that option open in the future) I also would like it open to many eventual upgrades when the funds are available so a full sized case would be nice with plenty of extra slots.

I still have wait time before I actually build something due to just having a daughter my funds are SLOWLY building haha

So that being said does anybody have some decent build for my price range that will be well worth the money hand still have plenty of upgrade room . Thanks for any help you can give as I am completely new to building any type of computer and have no idea what to look for
