Don't try to get sassy with people that are helping you. You're going to be wasting your money on a pre-built and used computers are often a bad idea.

Well, it's $100 more expensive. You can get your OS for free, pretty easily and advise doing so since it will give a considerably higher budget for components. Drop the cooler, it's a waste, Intel's stock cooler will do. 4460 is only $5 more, and better, get that instead of the 4440. ITX board is a waste. Don't waste $25+ where you don't need to. GTX 750Ti is a no. You can find an R9 270 for around the same price, or less and it will out-perform the 750Ti. It's going to be worth grabbing an R9 285 though IMO since it will max everything on a single 1080p panel with ease.

I wouldn't buy a PC off craiglist IMO. Also you can get a powerful machine by building your own also . Like someone else said he's asking for too much !

I said ignore the OS because I found out how to get it for free. Probably shouldn't say this but I know i can use a USB for it. I'll change my parts soon and update you with them using your advice. I'll remove the cooler too, thanks! I'll update you soon.

EDIT: I need a board with WiFi, got any extra suggestions for a motherboard with wifi?

U can just get a WiFi dongle which connects via USB. Or a WiFi card which u can slot in a PCI e slot. There quite cheap. I'm not at home so can't search for links. Some one will post some. If not I'll look for one latet

I'm still leading to a built in wifi on the motherboard.. I am 75 feet from my router, should I go built in on the motherboard, a usb, or a PCI card thing? Thank you for your time sorry for so many questions.

USB dongles are not massively strong, but most motherboards that have built in WiFi, use PCI cards, just saves you buying one...

My Z87I uses a mini PCI for it's WiFi, so if a motherboard with it built in works out cheaper, get that.

I'm almost certain you can pick up a wifi card for $15 or so, I'd advise against wireless connection though, it always does my tits in.

I'd hate to get a 75 foot Ethernet cord and use horseshoe nails and nail the cord to my wall and drilling through the wall and putting it through there would be such a pain.i have a cable wire that goes to my basement from my living room (where my router is) and up to my room, would that work? Or would the Ethernet cord get ruined from the humidity and other things?
