Best Gaming Build Under 500 Canadian Dollars

Kiran Khanal · Dec 2, 2014

What is the best gaming build under 500 Canadian Dollars? I need a monitor too. If you can fit an OS in this price, then please do so. I do not require an optical drive. I like to play skyrim and league of legends. They do not have to be maxed out. If it is playable in decent settings, I am good. Also, can you suggest me a mouse, keyboard and speakers. Speakers and not as important as I usually use my headphones. Btw I am in canada incase you didn't figure itout already.

$500 for all that and gaming isn't going to happen. A basic monitor and OS is going to be $200 of that $500 right there.

Sure you can get "a" computer for $500 up here, but I wouldn't put gaming in the title of it.

I know its a challenge but I am in a really tight budget as I am a 16 year old guy who doesn't have any money.

thanks, but can pentium handle the card. (sorry i am not so good with the parts). Also, what would you modify if I didn't want an OS.

ScrewySqrl · Dec 2, 2014

that pentium? It's a MONSTER of a dual core, on that board with the stock fan, you can probably overclock it to 4.2 GHz, and it can handle much more than a GT 750. R9 280 and GTX 970 are pretty much the limit of the chip
