450-600 Gaming Pc Help

[tonyb62]

I'm building a gaming desktop, but I only have 450-550 dollar budget maybe it can go to 600 but that is my final limit.

Approximate Purchase Date: Within 1-3 weeks

Budget Range: 450-650 dollars before rebate

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Web browsing, Movies

Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Monitor, Mouse, Speakers, Operating system, CD/DVD Drive

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, TigerDirect, Amazon

Country: United States

Parts Preferences: Graphics Card, Motherboard, Processor, Power Supply, Case

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, in the future

Monitor Resolution: 1920X1080

Additional Comments: Can't go over 650. Going to play games like Skyrim, Mass effect trilogy, Metro 2033, The Binding of Isaac, Hotline Miami, and a whole bunch of indie games. I DO NOT NEED THE GAME TO BE MAXED OUT AT 60 FPS. Medium-High is just fine. Maybe even low.

You'll be able to play on high-ultra settings with this build. This build also has a good upgrade path. When you get the cash, you can throw in a i5 3570k. Or even an i7 ivy bridge CPU.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

[DeusAres]

It's all good; I shouldn't have questioned your motives. It was actually a smart move to seek multiple opinions. Hang around these forums and you'll learn quite a bit.
