Help with a Gaming PC

[Ruckie818]

Hey guys i am looking into building a gaming pc but i dont really know that much about computer. I have been doing research and learning some things.

I ask that you guys build me a gaming pc for about 500 dollars. Just the components not the moniter mouse etc.

These will most likely be the games i will play.
Battle field 4/hardline (descent fps)
GTA 5 (with mods if possible)
Minecraft (with mods)
and Counter Strike Global Offence

-Thanks

an i5 for a 500 bucks build? doesn't make sense and something like an AMD FX CPU or an i3 would make more sense.

why wouldn't an i5 make sence in this build?

i5's are more towards mid range builds, and since 500 is not mid-range, a cheap AMD FX CPU, and a stronger GPU (like the 750 ti i suggested) would give you a much better performance in gaming.
