 Total Upgrade Price **$700** (not including $50 power supply from Bestbuy)  This is one kick butt computer (I have PC envy of my dad, his PC runs circles around my home machine)

+If you want to get a better video card, the NVIDIA 1060 series was released just a few weeks ago... they have been out of stock for a while, I am tempted to make this my next card:
+===== Mo Betta Gaming Video Card =====
+I currently have the one above, because I'm cheap and I like that it doesn't need an extra power cable and runs what I play fine... but... if you want more you can always spend more!  (I am highly considering this as my next upgrade (along with a PC like the one above!))
+  * [[http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487261|EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 06G-P4-6163-KR, 6GB GDDR5, DX12]] **$259**
+Power supply, you just need an "ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a
+minimum power of 350 W."  Just found one at Bestbuy that said that.
+===== Power Supplies =====
+  * [[http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027|CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply]] should work

+===== CPU Fan =====
+  * [[http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099|Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan]] <- had one of these laying around, the new CPUs don't come with fans now!?  Lucky I had one laying around in the basement lol (or is it sigh.. ) 8-)
+===== Budget Gaming Build =====
+Thinking about sticker shock, and wondering if you could build something with a reasonable slot (PCIe 3.0) for not a lot of cash, you could go the AMD build.  This might be a good first computer.  It isn't future upgrade-able, this is older technology so it is a dead end, but with a modern new gaming video card (use the NVIDIA 1060), this could be quite a budget gamer.

+| $250  | Video Card                          | Noticed that the EVGA one on NewEgg is now $300, you should be able to get a card for $250 somewhere when you're ready                                                                     |

+    * [Option] Different fan options: [[http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100008000%20600360497%20600418200%20600456361%20600456464| Compatible Cooling Fans]] <- link to Newegg with cooling fans supporting FM2 sockets
