Hey guys, I'm new here. I am going to build a PC. For a while I've really wanted to build one. I'm looking for help to build one for $500 with the OS included. Will it be possible to build something that can handle most games? (I won't be playing many demanding games). Thank you all very much.

good case choice. and nothing wrong with windows 7. you will be able to play most games at mid settings with 45-60 fps and a few on high. it will not do battlefield 4 on ultra nor most current games even after overclocking both the gpu and cpu. but if you are ok with mid to mid-high setting you will be happy

my contribute1150 - this has no gpu but you have ssd and hdd which will give good user experience. Add a gpu later, I recommend HD 7950 which is worth the 170$. If you will play games like bf 4 then you won't need to worry about the cpu as mantle will aid the cpu bottleneck if you have a HD 7000-series card.
