    You need to add a Power Supply.

    Also, I would custom build these computers instead of a kit. Like.. do you really need to spent $100 on a 1.5 tb hard drive?

    Do your research and buy smart/ on a sale

    Yes except for a GPU, and a mouse and a keyboard.
    The second build is better, it has a newer A8 APU but the other one has 16GB of RAM, I would say both are good it's your choice, you can go with the first and still add a GPU after a year and Dual Graphics it with the APU.

    You're much better off building your own computer. You'll more than likely save yourself money, plus you'll be able to choose exactly what parts you want in your PC.

    I wouldn't even bother spending the cash on a computer without a GPU. Build your own, even in the lower budget ranges your computer will have much more bang for your buck if you build it yourself compared to buying a pre-made one.

    The ones you picked out are pre-built, not custom built. Custom built computers are where you individually select the parts yourself... those are pre-determined setups by Newegg and pretty much every one of their pre-built computers are horrible for their price.

    I can't say it's better than the original post, the builds suggested only are better in one way, RAM, I picked a single 4GB DIMM so you can grab another one later, but the builds have 8GB and 16GB, the i3 is better than the A8, the GPU is way better than integrated..


    You can get this one with 8GB but the PSU and case are NOT good, a 300W is enough for a 7750 and an i3, I would stick with the above build:

    You guys are wrong. The links he posted are for Newegg build combos. Combos are basically a bunch of parts you can buy at once to save money. If all of the parts are good and he likes em, I don't see why he can't just buy the combo and buy a seperate GPU. You just have to be careful though, some combos might have cheap power supplies, bad cases, etc.

    I'd say, save another 100-200 bucks or more, a $300 PC will get you some performance, it will be more likely an AMD APU which I don't really like.. I think a gaming PC should be around $400+
