Approximate Purchase Date: Within next month

Budget Range: $600-$700

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Games like The Sims 4, Sim City, Wizard 101, and possibly others, social media, web browsing, light drone video editing.

Are you buying a monitor: Would like suggestions on a monitor, but it doesn't need to be included in budget.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes, Windows 10 or an older version that offers free Windows 10 upgrade

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I use Amazon a lot, because I am a Prime member. OK with other sites if better deals exist.

Location: Hagerstown, MD

Parts Preferences: None

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Additional Comments: Computer will be primarily for game playing. Would like a decent WiFi adapter as well since it will be connected via WiFi only.

Thank you in advance!

If I decided to up my budget a little bit and add an SSD, would you recommend that? If so, is there a brand, or even one specifically, that you would recommend?
