I'm building a new budget gaming PC with Marshall. Minecraft shouldn't be a problem. Ideally it will handle World of Warcraft (likely) and my as-yet-unused copy of Skyrim.

Part Name Price
Motherboard MSI A88X-G43 $82.99
Case Rosewill Challenger $49.99
CPU AMD Athlon Quad-core 3.8GHz (FM2) $80.99
Graphics Card GeForce GTX 750 Superclocked $124.99
RAM Crucial 4GB DDR3 $38.99
HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s $53.99
Optical Asus 24x DVD-RW DRW-24B1ST $20.39
Power Supply Rosewill 450W $59.99
Keyboard Logitech G105 $39.99
Mouse E-3lue Cobra $11.99

Plus Windows 8.1 System Builder edition ($92.00), the total is $656.30. I went a little over budget but this feels pretty good.

Update 2017-02-17: the December 2016 build is now posted.
