Hey Guys
I'm considering building a custom PC using money I've received as gifts. In total I've received $500 (Most of it was pity from them breaking my laptop). I'd like to keep the build at or under $600 seeing that I wouldn't want to be spending more money than I have to over what I already have. The PC build NEEDS to include an OS as well as a wireless network adapter. I would also prefer if the graphics card were somewhere in the R9 270 range. Any help from you guys would be awesome:bounce:

There's a bit of budget to mess around, and the CPU can be later upgraded to an i5 or i7.

ykki. What case?
