Hi,

Im new to this gaming desktop building. I need to build one under 500 or cheapest on which i can play just MOBA games and nothing else. I dont play often but i do hate to be running those games on my laptop since the video card is very low and it slows my computer very drastically. Any advice would be great, i am willing to be upgrading my desktop as time goes on and my savings increase but for now 500 or lower is my budged, i cant really do rebates. the one game im really interested on running fairly decent is the paragon game and I will be happy with that or I can even do already build desktops. (I have everything but the desktop)

Thank you.

Basis for a decent 1080p gaming rig. Use the onboard graphics of the i5 and add an RX 480 and an SSD later as money permits.

The RX 470 is coming at teh end of teh month.
Like the previous poster said, get an SSD as soon as you can afford one.
You will have to go above your budget for the OS if you want anything resembling a gaming PC out of teh box.
