I know that I have recently asked questions recently about the gaming PC that I am building but currently am very indecisive about what I want to get, so I have come to this great community for help. I was hoping that someone could come up with a list of parts (preferably from amazon) for a 500 dollar gaming PC build. I want 8 GB of ram and and a 1 TB HDD, and USB 3.0 would be nice.

THANKS!

On amazon this totals out to 620 dollars...

The max I can go to is about 550 and I forgot to state that I really need a DVD drive and a wifi card

Do you like it? And you should definitely consider buying parts from other stores. Otherwise you might not achieve the $500 budget.

I think that's a nice build you have there. You could also order from NCIX and Microcenter. BTW, do you live near any Microcenter store?
