is this pc worth $500

I say yes, But have the guy re-maintenance everything and have him make sure that the wires are no way obstructing any airflow.

He's also throwing in a gaming keyboard if i am correct. I think you got it for a steal.
 


can i build a pc for $500 that can run games on ultra??
 


No, but this will not play better than medium. The CPU is DATED and will struggle in modern titles as games are becoming more and more CPU dependent.
 
alright then im gonna go with your build i thought maybe this so i can spend 300 dolllars on accessories

 

yeah i will the thing is also i gotta wait two weeks to build your pc and i want a pc now but its better to wait and get a better pc then one now that sucks
 
If you can sink about 700-800 into a custom build, you can perhaps run most modern games on high-ultra. But even that can be pushing it. Games like battlefield 4 need at least an R9 280x to run ultra on multiplayer (that gpu by itself is close to the cost of that $500 pc) and even that isn't 60fps.
 


Patience is a virtue my friend.
