I am looking for a $500 gaming computer build. I have recently made one on pcpartpicker.com and I was wondering if I can make any adjustments to get more bang for my buck. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/39aUJ The only games I will be playing are Maplestory and Minecraft, and would like to be able to Livestream on Twitch.tv with a couple of my friends.

Is $500 the max you can go or can you go a little higher than that? if I were you i would save up a little more up to like $800 maybe and then make a mid-range PC. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/39bMO

For what you need, that's actually pretty good. Here is one with 8 gigs of RAM and a better video card just in case. The SSD is good only for an OS... You won't need that for minor gaming. Also, there is no windows... I didn't add any windows...
