I'm trying to convince my friends that PC gaming will be a better investment than a console. So the build must be under $500 because that's their max budget they are willing to spend and this was a build that I thought might be good for playing video games. Please check it for bottle necking and any suggestions are welcome and encouraged. I'm trying to show them the best gaming build for their buck.
