Hello, i'm looking to build a PC that i can use for everyday use such as browsing or watching YouTube videos however i would also like to play some games on it as well such as Day-Z or Minecraft, i will also need to use it a lot of the time for studying and school work, i'm looking to spend around 300-350 on the desktop and if you could also recommend a good quality monitor for under 100 that would be fantastic.

Thankyou

What is your budget and currency? (pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?

I was looking at DayZ's Recommended Requirements-
This should run it fine, as it recommends a 5770 or faster.(Minimum is a 3650)

Yes it would be, was trying to stay in budget. I'd also upgrade the GPU(Video Card) later on once you get more money.
