Author Summary
spellign_error is in Challenge
Post Body

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

I'll be playing Heroes of the Storm(starcraft 2) and streaming it using obs. I will also possible play music on it using spotify and i will use teamspeak and mumble for voice chat. I might also install league of legends

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

400$ but can stretch for rebates/shipping/taxes. Also if something is truly worth getting I can wait a week and spend 500$ but I want this to be roughly the cost of a console.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

As soon as possible

**What, exactly, do you need included in the budget?

Tower and OS only but I am a student so I should get a discount on the OS. A new keyboard would be nice if its super cheap or free but ill probably go pick a new one up at the store instead.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

Washington state. No access to Microcenter

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

I won't be reusing anything other then an old flat screen monitor and my logictech M510 mouse

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

No

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

Since this is not a home pc at all and only for one or two specific games I don't want to spend money on lots of hard drive space.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

Nope

Do you need a copy of Windows 7 or 8.1 included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference for one or the other?

I would like windows 7 unless 8.1 is cheaper. I am a student so I might be able to get a discount.

This build doesnt have to be able to do anything other then play Heroes of the Storm(starcraft 2) and league of legends while running OBS. Also I run everything at low settings because I don't like distractions so I wont be trying to push anythign to run in ultra
