Looking to build a 500-700 dollar gaming pc that will run games alright. Please include everything, including OS and HDD as we are starting from scratch. Doesnt matter whether it's AMD or intel either. We are looking for a balanced build as well for no bottlenecking. Thanks

Look how is this rig looks like:
