Gaming PC for a beginner (500$-600$)

ShadowGamer259 · Apr 25, 2014

Completely new to this, and so I was wondering what is the best setup for a gaming PC under 600$ ...from scratch. I dont mind whatever the graphics would be too much just as long as it can run Rust, DayZ and such. I understand this may not be possible.

Check out Gooeypc http://gooeypc.com/gallery.aspx , they allow you to build with compatibility and give some standard builds that would be cheap, I can run those games on my laptop, try to go for a Radeon Video card instead of NVidea.
