Reddit mentions of ASUS M32CD Desktop (Intel Core i5-6400 Quad-Core 2.7GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 1TB Hard Drive, Windows 10) with Keyboard and Mouse

> I am looking for just a regular everyday computer. Nothing for gaming.

The short answer is that in your case it is no longer worth building your own computer.

If you want to spend a bit more, swap out the hard drive in this with a SSD.

Thanks for your fast response! The prebuilt I have is an ASUS M32CD. It is the DDR4 version if that makes a difference.

Forgot to mention, the only upgrade I have done was adding a GPU - 750ti to be exact.

So I would consider getting something like this and then adding a GTX980 to it, along with an Oculus. That would tip you a bit over $1500, but a 980 is going to offer a decent boost in performance over the 970, and is generally what's going to be bottlenecking you.

Honestly for low budget home use builds you might be better off with a prebuilt. You can actually get them for pretty decent prices since big companies like asus and hp get discounts on windows lisences and that really factors into the price at lower budgets.

Heres an asus pc with a i5-6400 8 gb ram 1tb hdd and windows 10 and even comes with a keyboard and mouse for 450$

Not really.

EDIT: Scratch my previous entry. THIS is what you should look at:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01BGT69OE/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

>6th Generation Intel Core i5-6400 Quad-Core 2.7 GHz processor (turbo to 3.3GHz)

>8GB DDR4; 1TB HDD 7200 RPM

>Intel Integrated 530 HD Graphics

>802.11 AC WiFi with Bluetooth 4.0

>Windows 10 Home Operating System

If you're willing to take a chance, you can buy them for $350, used, in good condition, from Amazon, and fulfilled by Amazon.

[This computer I just found would be a lot better.] (http://www.amazon.com/M32CD-Desktop-Windows-Keyboard-Mouse/dp/B01BGT69OE/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1459249389&sr=1-1&refinements=p_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A7817224011%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2289793011)

You can easily upgrade and if you would like to have a graphics card, don't forget to upgrade the power supply (THIS IS A MUST).
But for now, this intergrated graphics is better than a gt610 in your original link.

Video I found of someone upgrading their exact same pc with a graphics card and power supply.

Yep, I imagined that it would be a problem to change the motherboard out.

The only time I messed around with that was years ago when helping to build my nephew's project computer, and I don't overall have much experience with it, so I won't be messing with it now. The only reason I'd want to potentially do that is to support a better processor, anyway, and I'm getting a pretty sweet quad-core (over my dual-core, which I'm surprised runs Windows 10 as well as it does but is starting to bog down under features, load times etc.

Basically the same effect as has been hitting my 2nd-generation iPad because of the many updates to iOS 9; much longer load times, sometimes crashes or force-closures, things like that. I'll be SO happy to get this new computer, I'll tell you.

(It's this one: the ASUS M32CD.)

Intel core i5-6400 (my current computer is core i5-650); basically that's the most that'll change except the smaller (1TB) hard drive but I can add on the one that's in this current computer that I'm using now, if it comes to that, I hope :)

Thanks for your help, though! :)

Build the PC yourself.

If you're absolutely scared then you're better off selecting and buying your parts, then paying even $100 to have a computer store assemble it for you. It'll be cheaper than buying a completely built system that these online stores offer.

You can save yourself some money and build it yourself. If you still don't feel comfortable building the system yourself, I would say to buy a used desktop, then throw in a GPU. You can't mess this up.

This PC is the one you just upgrade the ol' desktop. It should be cheaper than what is listed.
Userbenchmark PC Build Comparison
Baseline Bench: Game 62%, Desk 64%, Work 39%
CPU: Intel Core i5-6400 $235
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-3GB $250
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 128GB $130
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB (2016) $65
RAM: G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3 1600 C10 1x8GB $95
MBD: Asus P8Z77-V
Total: $775

Budget performance per dollar build. The current market is very expensive, otherwise you'd have saved at least $200 if this were 2015 or something.
Alternative Bench: Game 69%, Desk 79%, Work 73%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 $230
GPU: AMD RX 580 $336

MBD: MSI B350 TOMAHAWK (MS-7A34) $110
Total: $1,113

You can see that they have very similar gaming performance which is mostly dependent on the GPU. The RAM and CPU affect the "workstation" score. If you're playing game, then both will be fine for 1080p gaming full details.

If you have all the money in the fucking world Mr. "BIGDICKALIENWAREGAMER" then you should buy any decent gaming computer from any prefabricated computer company. Alienware does cost you a premium but at least you're getting new parts, warranty, and a cool case. There are other cheaper and reputable companies. Digital Storm comes to mind.

Yeah. For example, You can get Asus M32 pre-built from Amazon for 399$. Its a rig with i5-6400, 8GB of RAM, 1TB 7200 HDD, and Windows 10 bundled. Also has basic keyboard and mouse. The case is kinda meh, but it has 80mm exhaust fan, and Skylake CPUs are very cool running anyway. A perfect fit for it would actually be a reference RX 480 - because of blower cooler design, it will not cause a buildup of heat inside the case, and thus the subpar airflow is not much of an issue.

So, thats 399$ for the rig, 199$ for RX 480 4GB version, and 40$ for a decent 600w power supply. You don't actually need 600w for that rig - but PSU is a good investment, watts don't get obsolete so you can re-use it in the future, and 500-400w units are not that much cheaper anyway. Thats 650$ in total for a rig with i5, 8GB of RAM, RX 480 - a perfect set-up for 1080p gaming.

You can then buy a VX2257-MHD - which is a 1080p-60Hz monitor with FreeSync. Thats another 150$.

So, we have a fully working gaming rig now, for 800$. Which means - there is still 100$ free in the budget. So, 240GB SSD for 65$ is an obvious choice at this point.

Total cost ~865$. For a rig that can max out pretty much any game at 1080p, with FreeSync.

This is more or less how you do it.
