    Gaming Pc Budget Build

    Alright so i'm going to build a gaming pc, but I'm on a budget of about 500$. Here's the parts I'm thinking about:

    Case:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153

    Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371031

    MotherBoard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131767

    Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103961

    Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130625


    Tell me if I'm missing anything, and if this will work. I already have my RAM, Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard , Dvd Burner ect from my old computer. If I can save a bit of money anywhere please tell me.. Thanks!


    By the way the games I'm looking to play are nothing serious, I'm thinking counter strike source and go, team fortress 2, maybe skyrim, and minecraft..

    I agree with justin killer. You will get much more performance in gaming with the i5 rather than the FX-8120.

    The case is fine (I have it too) and the power supply seems decent.

    GTX 550 ti is fine, but you won't really be able to max out all your games (some will) with decent FPS. I would recommend the Radeon HD 6870 or the Gtx 560 (both are great, I have the 6870).

    Here's wishlist:

    It's $519. I don't know if you are on a strict $500 budget or not. If you are, you could maybe find a $50 power supply and go for the 6850 (another $20 off).

    Just remember, the motherboard has b75 chipset so I don't think that overclocking will be that great (and the i5 isn't a 'k' series unlocked processor). And you are reusing the hard drive, right? You'll need one of those, lol.
