Description
This build have budget in mind. I looked around for the cheapest, yet great parts for its price. My total for the machine is $504 and some change. My last computer (hard to believe but true) overheated because it was using Google Chrome. This is such an upgrade, like a flip phone to a Nexus 5. I know some parts aren't that fast but for what I wanted, is great.
