Hey all. So I'm planning on building my first budget gaming computer in the next month or so. I'm looking to spend no more than $750 (about) and would appreciate as low of a price as possible (of course )
Anyways, this is what I've got so far. I'm no computer expert, so I've kinda been playing this by ear. Any suggestions are extremely welcome:

Any help is greatly appreciated!
