So in your guys's opinion what would be a good budget for someone who needs to buy a monitor, an operating system, and build a tower? Well, it depends on what you're doing, but I can post an example link:
$740 after rebates.
Now, running a budget-build has some flaws. Firstly, if you want to upgrade the CPU to something that can overclock, you'd have to purchase a new power supply and motherboard as well. You would also want to upgrade the case as soon as possible. The GPU would work for now but wouldn't last in the long run. Here's what I would suggest if you followed the above:
$200 more, infinitely better.
If you were to only upgrade a few components from the old model, but not the entire thing, I would get a better power supply, then motherboard, then case, then GPU.
