Is this build okay?
I think im done with it but i dont really know anything about computers.

Anything yall can add? It's only $525 so i have like $100 more i can add to it if you guys see something i should upgrade or add.

Im not looking to run games on max settings with insane amounts of framerate. I just want to be able to play cs-go and other games comfortably. Im used to barely getting 30 fps on toribash with min settings so anything average will seem super good to me.

Okay i'll do some searching. What about the case i just updated? How is that?

also i have a computer case im using right now, could i possibly use it instead of buying a new one?

Current Computer


Heres my current computer case, would it work? its not optimal but if it saves me $100.

Also the motherboard post glitched, dont forget to check ittt.

I'll give you like 20k for helping me i guess.
Im glad thats an overkill, changed it. Its $20 less. I think i can take out the CD drive thingy and use the one i have atm as well. Im wondering if theres any other little things that might save me some money.
