[QUOTE="geishroy, post: 4934075, member: 146942"] I think building your own will be out of your budget. People are going to tell you to get an i3 (or i5), 8gb value ram, something like a 7770+, 500gb hd, decent psu, decent mobo, budget case. I just think this will break your budget no matter how you look at it. Do you have access to a copy of windows, if not that will be another expense? It may be best to find a used desktop on craigslist or similar site and just try to lowball, or find a cheap prebuild and hope it has a good enough psu to add a decent graphics card. I spent $175 on an older gateway a few years back, I was broke during college. It was decent though, it came with an amd quad core I believe a mid-range phenom II, 8gb ram, 1tb hard drive. I put about $400 more into it for a good psu and video card over the next few months. I have since stopped using it and have built a new i7 4770k, 16gb desktop. I have used the same PSU and GFX card in this current build, so maybe this could be an approach you take. Do you have monitors and stuff as well? If not this will also add quite a bit to these costs.

, The Wii U gamepads are tied to the console's region, so its impossible to find a cheap gamepad that supports your model.

Unless you modify your system, of course, and remove the region check.
