You could easily make a "Steam Box" PC for about $500 and it only takes about 25mins to make. Here are the materials you would need...

1GB XFX Radeon HD 7770
Intel Pentium G850, Socket 1155, Dual Core, 2.90GHz
LiteOn IHAS124-04 24x DVD±R
CoolerMaster Extreme 500W PSU
ASRock H61M-DGS LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
4GB Corsair Value DDR3 PC3-10600
500GB Seagate ST500DM002 Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s, 7200rpm


Not all of them are in-stock but you atleast have a list of the parts...

general ideas.
get an i3 instead of a Pentium, u can indeed fit an i5 if 650 is ur actual budget do not get a CM PSU, try getting a 7 Series Chipset for the newer features, not in a position to give detailed explanations or a build right now, will do that in thr evening today

It really depends on what you plan on doing. If you're using youtube, most new processors will be good enough to play the HD videos. You also have to consider the resolution. If you're doing 720P gaming, you'd be fine with an I3 and a lower tier GPU. If you're doing 1080P gaming, you'd need an I5 and a medium or high tier GPU. AMD is okay, but get an fx 6300 and above if you're gaming.

I know this is alot to ask but could you recommend or list products that would be good, and how I get Windows 7 instead of Windows 8? I'm kinda a noob with this stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated

Just two more small questions. How much is Windows 7 and could the 8DDR3 be extended to or bought at 16? Thanks again

last time i saw Windows was about 90$
u wouldn't need 16GB of RAM, 8 is enough for gaming, but yes there are two slots empty for future expansion

Personally I use a PC that's just below this. It is amazing. These would definitely make a good PC.
