Hi, I'm looking for a gaming PC with a budget of around 600$
Trying to build a computer for gaming on a 24' ,1080p monitor, preferably with an option for upgrade in the future(maybe even for VR)
No need for overclock(although maybe if possible for a minor price bump)

I'm not living in the US, so I don't have the widest selection and the pricing is around 20%-40% more(which is why my budget is actually around 800$)
If you want to look at pricing in my country(parts are in english,categories not):
http://startpc.co.il/build/ (Prices in NIS. 1 NIS = 0.26$)

Anyway, this is a build I tried to build on my own:

I would like to hear recommendations and opinions on the build.

P.S. Do you have any recommendation for an 24' screen with a price of around 200$?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I have few questions regarding this build:
1. I can't find this MOBO in any store - is this is a suitable replacement: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-h110mk
2. Why 2 memory sticks instead of a one with 8 GB? Should I leave a slot open for upgrade?
3. Any other recommendation for the monitor? It can cost up too around 200$ regardless of the PC build, maybe an IPS monitor?
 
Thanks again, I'm maybe missing something, this motherboard has 2 slots - it says: "MEMORY SLOTS 2 x 288-pin DIMM"
And about the screen, I can't find it in my country. Most common brands are Dell,Samsung,BenQ and Philips(there are other brands ofcourse, but these are easiest to find). Any other options?

 
Yes, but not that specific model. I think i'll ask about the monitor at a local forum.

I'd like to hear other suggestions for the build(looks like a good build,just want more opinions)

Thanks, but this is a bit expensive. Looking for a build that cost 600$ and a monitor that cost 200$
As this PC will be used by other family members and not just for gaming, I want to get a good monitor.

Mainly concerned about the PSU? is 500W enough?
(I'll buy the monitor later)
