(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys I'm in need of some help. I'm not very good when it comes to PC stuff so I was wondering if someone could help me out a bit. I'm looking to a pc for around 500$ for gaming. Merely just FPS based games on Steam and what-not. Nothing too extreme like running Destiny on ultra high settings, just looking to play CS:S,CS:GO, games like that. Budget's around 500$ not including the monitor,mouse, and keyboard.

There you go. Check with Toke. He'd be the one to help you. My budget started there, but ended up in the neighborhood of almost $1,000. Worth every penny.

I would look at maybe increasing your budget abit. If you give yourself too tight of a budget you don't really get your money's worth but that's just my opinion. See what Toke says as he will be much more helpful

You must login or register to view this content. I went $50 over but its a $50 well spent because the upgrade from a r9 260x 1gb to a r9 270 is worth it and you get a pretty powerful computer that can fairly demanding games well
