Hi guys, I'm looking to get into the pc gaming world, but I'm not sure about it and I don't want to be spending too much money on a new computer. I would like a computer that would run something like left 4 dead, gmod, counter strike, and maybe even skyrim at the higher settings and at 60 fps. I would also like to run some mods to the games. I probably won't be getting newer games. My budget is around 500$
Thanks!
