Need a good gaming build at 500 USD

[Zelius]

Does anyone know of any on like pcpartpicker or something? Needs to be able to run mine craft on full settings and games on Steam at mid. Preferably Windows 7 and again, 500 is the budget, a little over might be fine. This doesn't include a keyboard, mouse, or monitor. Thanks in advance!

Would this build work fine? I'm not looking to run Bf4 or anything.

Yes, mostly, but made some changes to save you a bit of money as well.
1. You don't want that hard drive, its not meant for desktops.
2. Don't do your ram like that.
3. Got you a cheaper mobo without usb3.0 headers for a case that won't support them.
4. A 750ti is slightly better than a r7 260x and cheaper.
5. Saved you a little money on a cheaper CPU that you can overclock if you want to 3.8 like the more expensive one, and got you a slightly cheaper optical drive because of a combo purchase.
