I use a mac, but I'm looking for a good computer that is very cheap. What is the cheapest I could go that could run some good games on at least low setting?

I'm talking about games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, and maybe Metro.

Will updating from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 8 Pro uninstall all my apps?

well, i guess around 450-500

hah, I have a computer that was 500 and it runs tomb raider at medium to high settings.

Candy, you could probably spend around 400-550 and get a gaming pc that runs games at max, maybe not next-gen graphics, but yeah, games like cs:go, no prob.

yeah, my intel HD 4600 is able to run tf2, cs: go on very high/ max settings. but games like bf3, arma 2, only on lowest

All I found was stuff about Windows 8 to 8.1.

Will updating from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 8 Pro uninstall all my apps?

No. In the odd case specific applications don't work anymore, uninstall them.

[Cut Glass]

No.

Okay, so all my programs and files will still be there?

[KoopaScooper]

Correct. If the migration process goes swimmingly, all of your files, settings, and applications will be maintained.

My brother wants a PC for a grand so this is what I came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2dKbS

Does it come with a sound card? And is there anything I could cut back on? Is the AMD RX series better then the 760? Are the brands good? Is the case good?

Would the case be able to fit two 760s in it and will the PSU and MoBo support two 760s?

you cannot overclock on that motherboard. either get a Z87 mobo or get the cheaper, locked version of the cpu.
and I still feel queezy about the ssd
