1. Budget

as cheap as possible (ideally not more than $700)

2. Brand preferences

don't care.

3. What do you plan to do with the machine?

play world of warcraft/league of legends and try to stream

4. Is there a place where you'd like to get the parts from? doesn't matter

5. What parts (if any) do you have already that you don't need upgraded? mouse, monitor

6. Do you plan to overlock? no

7. Do you have an OS (e.g. Windows) that you can use for this computer? no, and would prefer 7

But make sure to check that the seal for the new stuff isn't broken. Apparently they let returned items be sold as new items.

No they don't.

They mark down the price by anywhere between 5-50 bucks depending on the original price and then put a label that states that the item was returned for reasons that will not effect the performance. They also state that the item comes with full manufacturers warranty and other things.
