Budget gaming pc

Build Description
VR and 60 FPS in 1080p gaming possible for <$700 in 2021? Yes. The key is to choose parts carefully and bit of a luck to grab graphic card at MRP.
This build was possible because of the 1650 super graphic card from NewEgg. I paid $244 for it. Usually I won't buy refurbished parts but its not normal times. Besides refurbished is better than the used ones as you can benefit from better life span and full manufacturer warranty.
I didn't want it to look too boring as well. That's why I picked a cheap case that offers Tempered glass and changed the stock cooler with a vertical RGB CPU cooler. Intel stock coolers look really ugly by the way. If you are using tempered glass case, changing it is a must. Even with a non RGB one.
Rest of the parts selection is very straight forward. Got whatever I can grab for decent price so stayed away from top name brands.
