$500 Gaming PC Build Budget

[xmathewx75]

So I just crashed my old PC, looking to go a new route this time and build one myself.

Budget - $520-700 or less. (Don't worry about tax)
-Games that you'll play/Applications you'll use: CSS, GMOD, Just cause 2, GTA IV, TF2, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Payday 2, GTA San Andreas MP, and general popular games.
-Native resolution of your monitor, Not very sure. Its a big monitor.
-Things you can reuse (OS, hard drive, optical drive) Nothing, wanna go all fresh.
-Extras that you want (monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc) Just Keyboard.
-Where you live, USA (Detroit, MI)

I just am looking to build a decent long lasting computer that will be good for everyday use.
I go on youtube, play games sometimes (not always), netflix movies, and go on random websites.

Used to be a heavy gamer, but not anymore. Just something that will give me a still great gaming experience with good FPS. Nothing intense.

Would be better if you can extend to $650.

Could work possibly. I wanna see how much I can get out of my old computer.

I will see how much I can save. I can extend it to 700 if want.

This should be good enough.That case is a MicroATX case but it is actually really good.

[xmathewx75]

Do I need to include the window OS too or the motherboard already comes with it?
Just curious, its a first time build.

Plus I did upgrade the PSU to a 600W, same brand just a bigger watt. I rather make this one a big build.

You need to provide your own OS

[editline]7th September 2014[/editline]

Also there is no reason to get more wattage on the PSU unless you are planning on upgrading the graphics card or going sli or whatever

I just wanted to upgraded because my last one was a 630w on a Geforce 550 Ti.
Anyways, I put it to 500W instead of 430W.

I got the Windows 8.1 64 bit window os.

Thanks for the responses.

You shouldn't get a gaming PC for $500.

Because pre-builts give you a better product for a lower price and doesn't cut any corners with shitty components

Pretty sure he was advertising his shitty blog

[FlashMarsh]

im no expert but you're not getting anything of value out of £300, a decent GPU will cost you half of that at least

[xmathewx75]

Well, just wanted everybody to know I went ahead and built it. I get average 30-60FPS in games.
I went my own route a little bit, can came up with a slightly better build.

Not a fan of the new windows 8, but I will get used of it. I didn't get the keyboard yet, I still plan on getting it or a better one in the future.

[RandomGamer342]

If you're having an issue with windows 8, try using something like classicshell or start8, it pretty much becomes a faster and smarter win7 with that
