Sorry mate, we're not all from the same country, when you messaged back I was probably sleeping.
There is no way to fit an i5 build into $550 and still have decent GPU power. Not to mention you need a new monitor.. $550 is pushing it really, I doubt we could do it. I'll try now and message back if I have anything.

Sorry man, I tried putting up a rig, but that website is hopeless. You type in anything and it comes up with everything.. the search function is useless. You go to page 2, then 3, then back to page 2, and the second page 2 is completely different than when you first went on it... please give us another website to use.
