Budget PC build under $750?

Elizabeth Hernandez2 said:Hey there!

I'm looking for a gaming rig with a budget of max $1667. My only dealbreakers are that it has to be from IBM, I need to be able to pay in cash, and I want a case that actually looks decent—not just some basic junk. Something more like this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/product_info.php?c...oducts_id=9240

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P, AM3+.
Just one Intel Core i7-2600K desktop processor.
One stick of 4GB Crucial DDR3 1600 MHz RAM. Standard stuff.
One 1TB Toshiba hard drive, 3.5" SATA III. Just a standard workhorse.

One 120mm PWM liquid cooler for Intel or AMD builds.
One Zalman Z1, USB 3.0 in black, comes with two 120mm fans.

I was actually referring to the Google configuration 😉 But yeah, you could even fit an 8300 if you don't mind stretching the budget a little
