Best PC under 750?

[hebrewnational35]

Hi there! I'm a first time builder, and I need a good budget build. I want it to go smoothly, as my parents are borderline on letting me build. There can be no issues with anything, I want it to fit together as if a prebuilt. OS needed.

Thanks,
Steven

You usually want to go with AMD on a budget build, not saying you can't do an intel build, it's just usually pricier. Putting together a computer is pretty simple, just plugging parts together

This build leaves you enough room to OC and can play many games at high/ultra settings with good fps.

Edit: you could swap the 8350 for a 6300 and get a r9 280 if you wanted to a r9 280/gtx 760, but that's up to you
