It ' ll be more than plenty for your games and in the future you can upgrade . The motherboard is pretty basic but it ' s got all the things you need like USB 3 . 0 USB 2 and PS 2 ports . 8 GB of ram is still more than plenty for gaming . I managed to squeeze in a 120 GB SSD and a 1 TB hard drive in place of the i 5 . The RX 470 was really the only choice here . At $ 169 . 99 , it ' s a great deal for a graphics card that ' ll pretty much almost max out your games on ultra at 1080 p . I went with a more builder friendly case that has plenty of room for a long graphics card and some hard drives . It ' s a pretty basic case with basic features but at $ 34 you really can ' t expect the impossible . But I will tell you that this is a great case for a noob builder . 500 W will be enough for the life of this PC . You don ' t need more than 500 Watts . You could even fit in a GTX 1080 in the future if you have enough money . I went with a cheapo K 120 from Logitech because at this price range it ' s a great deal for what it is . It ' s not a gaming keyboard per say , but it ' s more than enough for you to get started with . With the money left over , I ' d probably recommend a better mouse over a better keyboard if you don ' t already have a good gaming mouse .
