PC build for 500-600 range

[estroviro]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to build a PC for an initial range of 500-600. Now I'm looking for a gaming computer that can run most high end games well. Also, I was hoping for a good sound card because I'm very picky with music and like hooking my computer up to my home theater.
The fun part about this is that I want to be able to upgrade this over the years. So the initial build doesn't need to be the best but it needs to be able to be upgraded over the next few years. I hope to be able to have a dual screen and cross fire video cards one day. I don't care whether it is AMD or Intel and might overclock it but am not certain.

Thanks guys for the help

If you want to spend an extra $30, you can get a nice aftermarket cooler, and overclock. I wouldn't suggest overclocking on a stock cooler.

I don't know much about sound cards though, but it definitely has built in audio. If you are really picky on quality, get the pc, and buy a sound card later if you are not happy.

Thanks, but the link that you put out does not seem to be working. I'd probably get the sound card later as with the cooler. I don't plan on over clocking now.

EDIT: Feel free to change the case to whatever you like (Just make sure everything fits).

I think this will give you more than decent gaming performance at 1080p
