 ===== 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
