Hey, I want to switch to pc gaming. There's one problem... I'm on a relatively tight budget. I am looking for a computer to run games like tf2 and cs:go at decent speeds. I'm looking to spend around $450-$500. My email is ************. If you guys have suggestions please email me ASAP. Thanks in advance for the help.

$500 build ,- doesn't include windows or an optical drive

If you need those in budget there's some room for manoeuvering on the GPU & case

This is basically the same build as me. I'm not really an AMD person, so this is all Intel.
The total cost comes to about $410, leaving between $40-$90 for a case and power supply.

I'm not sure where you would buy the parts (I'm from Australia), but it gives you a good idea what to look for. I'll give you a quick rundown on my chosen parts:
-CPU: The i3 works well for most games, considering gaming has alot more emphasize on GPU. Also because it uses the LGA1150 socket, you could easily put an i5 or i7 in it later on.
-GPU: The 750ti is a budget card, but still delivers good performance for the price. You might want to consider saving a little extra and getting a GTX960 if you intend on really high end gaming.

To give you an idea of performance, this should be able to run BF4 on med-high settings between a constant 50-60fps, and maybe a little higher on some less intense maps.
