Looking to build my first pc, and an upgrade path from basic to higher end
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 mostly be running Steam with last or current gen games, plus have a decent streaming pc for hearthstone or Magic: the gathering online or arena

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

  • Something basic and usable for $400-$500, with an upgrade path of up to $1000 in the first year

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • Asap, but at least February 21

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • Tower and Os

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?

  • California, with the closest Microcenter in Tustin

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

  • None, I will purchase a mouse, keyboard and monitor(s) separately

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)

  • I'd prefer an SSD for gaming, and a higher amount of storage, but I'd rather be able to upgrade storage down the road than be locked in to a set amount.

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?

  • Any size or color, it's not a display system, I just want to be able to upgrade it down the road

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

  • Yes, I would need Windows 10 included

Extra info or particulars:

Wifi capable is important until I can upgrade my home internet.

Thank you!
