Title says it all. My budget is NO MORE than $500. NOT including discounts, etc... I need someone to play/record League of Legends, Minecraft, Tera... Games such as these.
The PC needs to be dual monitor capable. All I need is the PC itself. I have monitors, mouse, sound, keyboard. In the future I will be upgrading it but for now I just need something to get me started.
ALSO - Do not forget that this budget needs to include an OS. And I'm looking for prebuilts. Unless the build-it-yourself you come up with is just too good to not share then I don't need to see it.
Winner gets a cookie. But you have to get it yourself. And make it.

You know that members of this forum are not just crazy posting parts instead of prebuilt rigs. The result is 90% of the time better...
Maybe something like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

This build will render and edit videos ALRIGHT. Not great, but decently well for the average user.
Gaming it will be pretty poor. In modern AAA games it will struggle at low/med settings. While recording you will be at low in most games. MC will be an exception and you might could record that 720p with max settings at 30fps.
The build has a junk PSU and cheap-o motherboard. These are the short-comings with any prebuilt computer.

At 1080p, those system have the same or worse graphics than your integrated to be honest. The gt610 and hd6450 are as low end as it gets. Both considerably worse than modern integrated graphics.
Neither will play any modern AAA game at 1080p at low. Even Tera and Lol will be rough to run at low settings at 1080p.
The computer linked by the guy above is WAY WAY WAY better than those two.

You say it won't run games at all but I run league of legends on a 6 year old Dell 2gb ddr2 ram integrated graphics. And it runs 25fps on minimum settings. What am I missing here? Honestly don't get it.Yes but those builds will get about the same performance while recording. It won't be enjoyable for you or the viewers

This will run games better than any other option out there. Will game at mostly medium/ some high settings and record pretty solid at medium. All at 1080p.

Hey Slayer, I agree with what everyone else said about just building it yourself. Also, if you're going with cyberpower or ibuypower make sure you get a custom configuration from their website so that you can upgrade the psu. Their standard ones are known to have problems and can damage your whole system.

Okay fine what is your idea of a $500 rig that includes OS, PSU, CPU, GPU, MOBO, case, HDD, and optical drive that will run my games and record/edit/render?Here's a build that's about your budget: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tbcXVn . $500 isn't a good budget for trying to record. You can get more RAM later. This will be OK for gaming and rendering and recording might be a struggle, but I think it will be good for a little while

No, the Pentium will not work well for recording. Although better for gaming, when he tries to record his FPS will quite literally be cut in half. He REALLY needs 4 cores or an i3 (due to hyper threading) for having hope of recording gameplay smoothly.
The Pentium would allow for better upgrade path though. It is a solid option.

Tiny voices, your build is fine but it goes over his strict budget. He also doesn't want to count rebates in his budget. Maybe use the Pentium chip instead?If he doesn't want to go over $500 without rebates then recording is almost completely out of the question. He could play with a Pentium but unless he uses a capture card or something he won't be able to record.

This is most likely the best you can get for $500. Unless you can find a cheap case elsewhere for almost nothing or have a friend with a PSU that you can have then you don't really have any other choice
