So im gonna buy a gaming pc in like february or january. I need: PC, gaming keyboard, a 22-24 inch monitor, an OS, all the needed cables and stuff like that for 500$. They have to ship to finland and would like to have someone from the company build the computer but i think i can build it by myself. I play: Minecraft medium-high settings 60fps, team fortress 2 medium settings with no lag, fifa 15 low-med without lag, robocraft, and some other downloadable free fps games without lag. Would love to have it shipped from europe.

Thank you!!!!

22in monitor is $120 min. Crap KB $30. Leaves $350.

Best I could do is -

CPU: AMD A8-6600K 3.9GHz Quad-Core Processor ($84.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-DS2 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($70.82 @ Mwave)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($44.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 250GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.02 @ Amazon)
Case: NZXT Source 210 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case ($45.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 300W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($42.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $338.78

Which isn't what I'd call a gaming PC. I suggest you save some more.

Thats a really really small window for a pc with a monitor, peripherals and an os for that performance. At that price prebuilts could actually be a better deal for you. Are you open to free operating systems? Because at that budget windows is going to be like 7% of the price of your system

Would you consider used parts? You can usually find a used machine with a Windows 7 license pretty easily, and at that point you just throw in a 750 ti or similar powered video card. You'd end up with a pretty decent rig on the cheap. 500 bucks with a monitor, and OS is a pretty small budget for a gaming rig.
