Hello all! I'm rather new to building computers but the trouble I'm having is picking out the parts. I tried making a part list but I have no idea what is good or not, I have a budget of 600 including the operating system. I was hoping to have windows 8 or 10. If you know any tips for getting an OS for cheaper I would be grateful (no piracy). Anyway, back to hardware, I do minimum gaming like minecraft and other cheap random steam games that aren't demanding (I would like to run them on medium settings with 40 or more fps). Here is the PC I tried. The final important part is that it needs to be mini itx, I rather liked the cooler master 130 but the bitfenixprodigy is super duper cool but probably to expensive.


On another note, I was thinking, I could probably upgrade in a year so maybe I though I could get an i5 and use its onboard graphics, just an idea!


Anyway, any support would be very much appreciated,THANK YOU ALL in advance for your replies!!!!
