Good budget gaming build?
Last response: in Systems
So I'm looking to build a computer for more casual gaming (Minecraft, DayZ standalone when it comes out, etc). Currently I've made up a wishlist on newegg, and was wondering if I could get some better components and stay within the $550 price range. I'm not an expert on building computers, so I don't know what's better than what.
