I am looking for a $750 gaming pc including OS and monitor. I prefer the system to be prebuilt, mainly cause id rather have one thing shipped to me rather than 12 different things shipping, cause then there might be issues with at least one of the 12 things... anyway, Id like it to have a good processor and an ok graphics card, mainly because my budget would need to include a monitor and id rather have a good processor and upgrade my graphics card once I have the money saved up. Help would be appreciated!!

While building your own pc is a great route to go, it is also fine if you choose to buy a pre-built pc. Yes, the quality of your parts will be better than pre-built ones but if you do not have the luxury in doing so then just buy a pre-built one. Here are 2 pcs i found that might suit what you want - within your budget + offers enough money for a monitor and both includes the OS as well.

The first one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883102136
- i3 6100
- gtx 750 ti (efficient gpu that can run most games at medium - high)
- 400w psu (300w is enough for 750 ti, should be good)

The second one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883102137
- same cpu as the first one
- gtx 950 (an upgrade from...

Including a monitor and OS, $750 isn't going to get you far to be honest if you want a good PC experience.
I recommend saving up $1000 so you can get an OS, 144hz monitor, and a good performance PC for the best experience.
You're more or less going to end up with a workstation or a low performance PC for that price.

Like I said, I dont have to have a good graphics card right off the bat. I want a gaming pc with a good processor, OS, ram, and a monitor. I can save up $200 extra dollars once i have the computer with monitor to get a graphics card

totally didn't read it all, mb,
either way, you should 100% consider building it yourself. It's really easy and RMA process is not hard at all.
On top of that, you know for a fact that every component of your PC is quality and you can customize it to your hearts content. It's also really fun to build pc's and it is a good learning experience to figure out how a computer works.

There's also the issue of potentially buying a pc with the intent of upgrading the graphics card later, when the PSU included in the prebuilt PC doesn't have enough wattage to compensate for the addition.

thats something that i thought about, my dad owns a cell phone repair shop and one of the technicians might be able to help me build it, however, its a big risk though having 12 different items shipping to your house, one of them is bound to get damaged in shipping

You can always return it right away if it's damaged. The sooner the better, I know quite little about PCs, but for the past 2-3 days I been researching A LOT and how to build one, so now I'm saving up $$$ so I can build a custom one that will be good for just under $400 - it's worth it to learn how to build one trust me, you'll save up a lot than buying prebuilt from a shop, unless you're too occupied due to job/school to study PCs, then that's a different case.

Here is an idea of what you can get if you want to go for a 144hz monitor, which I highly recommend.
I've attached a build with and without a 144hz monitor.
The price difference is negligible, so I definitely recommend going with the 144hz build to get the most out of your PC.
You can always remove the SSD if you want to save a bit of money and don't mind longer boot times.
144hz:

Yes, I've tried to cut costs where I could, but if you really want to keep under your budget of a total of 950 after you've bought the $200 graphics card, take out the SSD on the 144hz build and get that, well worth it, especially in the long run.

You see the thing is, I want you to spend a little more on that i5 6500 for futureproofing purposes, because if you want to upgrade from an RX480 in the next few years, you'll need to buy a new CPU to upgrade if you go for an i3, wasting money in the long run. Get back to me with your thoughts on this.

- same cpu as the first one
- gtx 950 (an upgrade from the 750 ti and the i3 should have no troubles with the gpu)
- 400w psu (gtx 950 minimum psu required is 350w and the recommended is 400w - you should be good)


All 3 monitors should work just fine with the pc, choose whichever you want.

This is the problem with prebuilts imo.
By the time they charge enough to make back labor costs and OS, the actual parts are quite poor quality.

This fits perfectly into your budget.
Pay $50 or something to your local PC store to build it for you or get one of your dad's colleagues or your dad to build it. Alternatively I can refer you to a step by step guide to putting together a PC.
It is actually deceptively easy, and only takes an hour and a half for a basic build like this.
