Budget Mid Flip 1

Been out of the building 'game' for a while and wanted to try my hand and make sure I could still do it and see if I couldn't improve on the quality of my first build and try to make a little money too.

Configured with plenty of headroom on the power supply to upgrade CPU and/or GPU in the future. Easily reach 60+ fps at high+ settings. HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

The smaller micro ATX case makes it more convenient over your typical mid ATX tower while still having enough space for a larger GPU when it comes time to upgrade.

Integrated graphics included to provide peace of mind for troubleshooting if needed and provides a usable PC even if there is a delay when upgrading the GPU.

No money wasted on silly RGB.

The age of weak i-series processors is over. Any i3 and up 8th generation and up is a great choice for a budget build/entry level pc. This i3 is better than the i7-7700. Not to mention it easily be upgraded at any time. Modern games are not typically too processor heavy.
