Personally, I built my build last weekend and have played probs like 25 hours this week of CS:GO, LoL, Planetside 2 and Tribes Ascend, the single best budget pc for anything, gaming, media etc is the one i built, it was my goal to do the best quality product on budget. For sub 500$, including 90$ on windows 7, i built a system around the onboard graphics of the amd a10 5800k apu, and let me tell you i am never buying a discrete card or an intel processor again because there isnt a sigle combo that can beat it for the dollars you pay (130, to be exact), i bought an externl hard drive and have the smooth speed of a samsung ssd, 8gb 1866ghz ram, which is great for the speed because the apu uses simultaneously the ram as the processor, def recommend going the fm2, a10 5800k route for sure
the case i used was key as well and its actually on sale right now

the rosewill 22$
im pretty pissed actually i spent 30, meh its awesome price regardless,
i could have built the system for 350 bucks but the ssd is so worth it, and this budget apu handles everything you throw at it
other suggestion: you may think 5$ off isnt much, but on that case 8$ off = 30%, you do this on every component and you can easily save hundreds fast
any questions on my build specifics, mobo etc, message me, idk how that works bcuz im a new account, but i love toms so its about time i made a forum acct
