[SteveLord 32]

Do you need Windows? That's $100 right there and 20% of your budget already.

I always turn to tomshardware.com when looking to upgrade or spec out a new build.

System Builder Marathon, June 2012: $500 Gaming PC

They update their recommendations every month or two.

[Survivor Tyler 77]

With a 500 budget.

You hsouldnt be using an i5 at all. Your main focus should be graphics card.

[vampirikfox 0]

Look on maximum PC , they have a couple sub 800 dollar gaming pcs they have done

Agreed main focus should be graphics card, drop to an i3 or do an AMD build

[BOMBCRAZYInc 1]

my budget is 600-700 and could you make me a checklist to run through so i know that i have everything

[Survivor Tyler 77]

This is the brand new i3.

I wouldn't recommend going dual core with this game.

While the GTX 560 graphics will give you smooth FPS, you will get hangs and hitches from running the CPU at 100%.

This game is RIDICULOUSLY CPU intensive. I just put together a $1500 rig based on the 3570k and I typically sit around 60% usage.

The laptop my new rig replaced was a 2.8GHz Dual core that would constantly hiccup and freeze.

If your budget is that low, I would recommend either really skimping on the monitor, or waiting till you have a bit more.

Especially because in a year from now, your rigs not really going to play much at all.

I'll play around on newegg and see if I cant put something together though.

EDIT: Merry Christmas...

phenom x4 965

amd+3 mobo

you can get that processor and a mobo for 100-200 depending on what features you want.

I picked up a open box 21" lcd for 69$ at microcenter, that would leave you with 200-450 to spend on a graphics card,

[CreatureJoe 14]

I'm using this video card, It's great for the price and it runs everything on max on my PC.

I don't recommend pirating your OS. $100 isn't a lot for peace of mind. If it is for you, then save up or find a new hobby other than PC gaming.

[CreatureJoe 14]

Yeah, Don't pirate your OS. That's the best way to get a virus.

Save up for a 1000$, at the price, you'll be wanting to replace it again in two years.
