So, are you not doing any demanding gaming at all? No Skyrim or anything like that? People often like to add things after like that after I've spent 30 minutes planning their PC build. Also, are you using ethernet or Wifi?

Okay, so assuming a few things, here is what I recommend. If you NEED it to be less than $500, than I can cut down some more.
