Make me sell my console

Solution
The PSU included in the above build is pretty much a fire hazard tbh.
Also you're going to want to not include windows in that cost, not going to get great performance for the actual PC with only $400, that's what consoles are for at that price point.
Save a bit more and get this, stomps a console well into the ground and dances on its grave.

Without Windows, this runs at $486 Canadian. With Windows, $601. If you already have a key then you'll be fine. Or, you could run on an inactivated version of Windows until you can afford a key.

You'll see good frame rates at 1080p. Better than a console!

Graphics are way batter on a good pc with a good video card. You can get a good GTX 750 for about 120 us dollars, it'll run almost any current game at max settings and resolution and it'll be a whole lot better both in tems of graphic quality and in terms of FPS.

A 750 is extremely underpowered nowadays, it's old architecture and it gets beaten by literally everything available that has come out in the past 2 years, not sure why you would recommend it especially since a 1050 performs miles better for less...

I'm sorry but where I live I've never seen that, a 1050 for less than 750, that's a first for me.

lol, I meant a GTX 1050 for less than a GTX 750, here in Brazil a GTX 1050 2GB costs about the equivalent to 180 US dollars, while the GTX 750 ti costs about 120.

Actually, doing a little more research I was able to find a GTX 750 ti for about 155 US dollars, so you're right, save a little more and get a 1050 2GB for 180 USD.

I was comparing the price you gave me for a 750ti assuming you valued it at $120 and comparing it to a $105 1050 in the US. My bad.
Never convert to USD, always mention in your local currency, gets confusing and its easier to use local prices.

@OP, if you want wifi without ethernet you need to get a wireless adapter.

That power supply seems a bit on the weak side for that video card.
