Is there a way to make a gaming pc for 500$ or under? I have already choosen a Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor, you dont need to include the OS, since i already have it.
 
Why not, a high-ultra settings gaming build:

Will this really run games on High-Ultra :eek: ? Well, i will see first what other people will recommend.


 
If you can contend with 30-40 FPS on Ultra and 40-50 FPS on high then yes:

I just tweaked it a little. This 7870 is a great price right now. But I did pull the optical drive.
