Gaming PC build under $650?

I need a gaming rig by $1433.

I definitely want a 250GB SSD in there.

Just looking for the tower itself—don't bother with peripherals or a monitor. 🍿

Maybe I'll add 2 more case fans, one front and one rear:

An HDD won't fit this budget, by the way. Not unless you drop down to a GTX 950.

Fine, I don't even need an HDD anyway.

Do I seriously have to tell the guys at the shop exactly where to mount these fans?

You probably do.

Can you budge on the price just a little bit? It’s honestly a shame to pass up a better deal; going with the i5 is a massive upgrade for gaming compared to that AMD chip.

Personally, I’d hold out for the next generation of graphics cards. I wouldn't bother picking up another R9 380 or a GTX 960 right now. It makes more sense to wait for the RX 470 to drop; it should land somewhere around the 1400-$567 mark and deliver performance that rivals at least an R9 380X
.

👍

Just wait a couple more weeks. Buying a new GPU two weeks before the next generation drops is just painful.
