Not the best CPU but has a good video card, dont think you will find anything better for the money.

Seems similar to the comp I already have. Am using a Quad-core processor RN. Originally Posted by Fascinate

Think this is the best you're going to do with your budget and going for a pre-built. Should play any game at medium-high setting in Full HD 1080p.

i3 7100
Nvidia gtx 1050
8gb DDR4 ram
400w PSU which means you might beable to upgrade your GPU later. No promises on that.
DVD player... well... yeah.
If you're willing to go with a refurb:

i5 6400 (Slower but more cores)
Nvidia gtx 970 much better than the 1050 in the above.
Obligatory: you should reconsider building yourself. You get more for the same price. But do as you will.I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote.
I found a preacher who spoke of the light, but there was Brimstone in his throat.
He'd show me the way, according to him, in return for my personal check.
I flipped my channel back to CNN and lit another cigarette.

I saw that abs from newegg as well, and while the i3 is probably faster in most games the 1050 is quite a lot slower than a rx 470 and the one i linked is over 100 dollars cheaper.
OP what are your current specs? Maybe you just need a video card.

We just need to know your CPU and video card models. You can see CPU in system (right click start button>system) and device manager shows your video card model under display adapter. Originally Posted by TheramoreIsTheBomb

One last question, what types of games do you play? That will play a huge impact on which of the linked PC's will best suit your needs.

This will be compatible with basically any system, only caveat would be if you had a slim case.
