Long story short I'm helping a friend build a computer.

I need two potential builds. A $700 build and an $800 build. Also:
-Do not include an OS or Windows Office
-Do not include a SSD
-The $700/$800 is for the tower alone
-The PC will be used mostly for gaming and occasional schoolwork/ browsing the web.
-If possible work with discounts/parts from Microcenter.

I'm looking for a build that is exclusively intel, exclusively AMD and mixed for each price range.

Have fun!

EDIT: Also a $500 build just for comparison because this was what he originally wanted to spend.

Each build at each price range. When I said mixed I meant an intel cpu w/ motherboard, but an amd card and vice versa. Really the types are irrelevant, I'm just looking for at least one build at each price regardless of manufacturer.
