You could build more than a "decent" PC for $700. For $700, you could get a moderately high-end system.

Cut down on the case and get rid of the SSD and you can save about a hundred bucks of that price. Grab a Windows 10 key off eBay for $10.
Holy crap, first time I heard of this site and it reminds me of GAF's PC/Hazaro thread's Low - to - High end builds

That ticks most of the boxes.
I think I might just go for this one. Again this is just for someone at my work to use this desktop as a work computer so I really don't want to build anything. Just want to buy something that'll be pretty good and it seems like this is a decent build. We already have a 500GB SSD that we'll use as well.
Thanks for the suggestions
If you are just using it for work you could probably get something cheaper than that. Unless you use software that will take advantage of the GPU, you're just paying extra for a 1060 that will go to waste.
We do use some software that can be graphics heavy so the boost from the 1060 could be helpful and $700 just isn't that bad.

I misread the title expecting news of a new Descent game and became sad. Any decent PC these days should be able to play Descent fine, though.

You can't even get the Descent games on Steam or GOG anymore either, they were removed for some legal reasons apparently.
It sucks because I still have Descent in my Steam wishlist, but clicking it does nothing since the page for it is long dead. Serves me right for not buying it when it was already fairly cheap.
That's the same one I was going to post until he said he wanted the GPU. That's good for $400 with a Windows license.

You'd need a new psu as well if you did that. That one ships with a 300w.You could get this and a 1070 for ~$700!

Does the 10 dollar key thing really work??? I need to know. I had to reinstall Windows 10 last year and now I've got this annoying watermark on my screen. I upgraded from 8 using a CD from work, and at one point everything was registered. I don't know what happened but I'm tired of seeing the watermark.
People actually build Desktops without SSD ? I can't imagine doing without it now, that shit is so much faster... And I have others classic drives for the storage, so it isn't even that much expensive.
For me the ebay window 10 key did work just fine for both my laptop and back up build. I've had no issues with activation. Just gotta look around for a good seller.

I'm needing to buy someone at my work a new PC and I know there's occasionally deals floating around here for pretty decent gaming desk tops around that range. Does anyone have any links to those or a good place to search?
If they want a gaming machine, the one posted is decent, or one of these and buy a GPU on sale separately. RX 480/580's and 1060's can be found pretty cheap. From ~$150

This looks good, I would maybe add a 240 gb ssd and take off the 1tb drive. Unless you're downloading an entire library of games it isn't immediately necessary and you can add more space later onHere is my pcpartpicker list...
This is all in American prices too, assuming you are in the United States?

I really cheaped out on the memory to keep the price under $800. 8GB's of system memory really isn't adequate enough in the long run. so I chose a single 8GB stick, and that could be doubled later on.
I also through in the cheapest HDD I could find with the biggest storage capacity. Yet again, SDD prices are still too much to keep this under $800USD. Harddrives can always be upgraded too. Another option might be to flip the Ryzen CPU and motherboard to an intel i5 and compatible MOBO and purchase a Intel Optane Memory module. which might be worth it for speeding up the load times on this HDD. Sadly the Optane modules do not work on AMD hardware.
I also had to accommodate for Windows 10. But if Windows 10 isn't an issue, remove it from this list and up the RAM or swap the HDD for an SSD. Or maybe even look for a version of Windows 10 at a cheaper discounted price. As for the case and power supply, I went with the cheapest stuff I could find.
Thanks! Was is digitally delivered to you? Most I'm looking at say delivery for tomorrow even though the seller is in California. That's why I'm assuming it's just a digital code.
