I'm looking for some advice on a budget gaming rig I will be building. I will be using it for everyday web browsing and some gaming like League of Legends and Starcraft II. My budget is ~$500 including shipping and tax. I will be buying the parts in the US. I am not partial to any brand, just looking for the best bang for the buck. I will be using the optical drive, 1 TB hdd, monitor, keyboard, and mouse from my current computer. I will not be overclocking and my monitor is 1920x1200. I intend to build as soon as possible as my current computer is on its last legs.
