BUT I need some ideas and thoughts on whats the best for a fairly cheap price lol. My budget will be about $500. So throw me some build lists. I can go a little over budget. Awards

Plan to save more money. A fairly good custom built gaming pc alone costs about $1K, not including monitor, keyboard, mouse, pad, speaker, etc. Blackbart 1 Awards
