I want to build a $500-$600 computer that will be used ONLY for gaming and browsing the internet. I tried to get a build together but Im so confused over all the selections!

I want to play games like Battlefield 3, GTA IV, and Planetside 2 at medium or high settings.

I also need the essentials (keyboard, mouse, moniter, OS) with it. I am also going to overclock this computer.

Please help me and thank you in advance!

Copy of Windows 8 $119 just by itself. For low budgets I always suggest make life simplier. Buy a off the shelf good system, you can get a nice i5 core basic system for $300 or so. Now look to get a PSU for it, then save a bit and get a Video card you been eying. DONE. You have everything from the get go, you build upwards the 'extras' for your needs, and you save money.


You're going to need to at least double that budget, especially if you need to include peripherals.
