Hey guys. Looking to build a decent PC with a small budget instead of picking up a $600 PC from Bestbuy or somewhere.

No need for monitor/key board/mouse.

Ideally would be playing at decent settings and able to have music going with browser open. Videos occasionally.

I'd need it to have at least:

Windows 10
CPU
Motherboard
8GB Memory
1TB HDD
Video Card
Case
Power Supply

If possible from 2 or 3 places max, but on a limited budget, I'm not too sure if I can be stingy.

If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it, thanks!

This is something I came up with, but it's too much:

that cpu with B150 might not work directly. Normally you will need a skylake cpu to update the bios, THEN it can work with that G4650. You better off directly get B250 motherboard.

Bit cheaper but you can't get much less than that.

I advice you to get an SSD. It will save your life time in waiting for loading. Once using SSD, normally people never look back. You can start the below basic SSD, its the cheapest one within 240Gb SSD, but it still descent.

Thanks for your reply!

So no CPU Cooler is needed? I think I will take your advice and get an SSD when I can.

It came with standard cooler. It should be enough for 2 core 4 thread. Never buy after market heatsink for that cpu, you better save the money for amd ryzen than go that has 4 core 8 thread.
