• Need to build PC with $500

So I just got back from bootcamp, got honorable discharge for having a blood disease that I had no idea I had. Long story short, I come home to find my gaming rig dead, won't turn on or anything, so ya, I pretty much need everything except a case and screen. Can someone guide in the right direction of good parts for a build, that can run games like BF3 etc etc, that won't tongue fuck my bank account?
Find out what's wrong with it, it might just be a dead power supply?
From what I been told, we had a thunder storm, and my ma hooked it right to wall, and didn't have a surge protector on it, and suddenly SURGE and it went dead. But regardless I need a new computer altogether.
