School Build

[Mastermind2214]

Hey everyone ,

     At the start of this semester I was voted President of our school Technology Club. I'm just needing some quick suggestions to make a decent gaming rig for the club to use during down time. Here are my requirements. 

 

Requirements

• must meet a 500 dollar US budget because it's personal money not club money lol (peripherals and OS are not to be included in budget)
• smallest form factor possible for this budget

Other Thoughts.

I would need a much smaller case but, I already own a p8p67 deluxe, i7 2600k, h100i, 16gb ddr3 1600 and a spare gtx 680 classified from EVGA. If there was a smaller form factor case than the CoolerMatser HAF 932, I could reuse these components and would only need ssd/hdd/case/cooler.

 

pcpartpicker is okay but i'd prefer just newegg.com ^^

 

Please leave suggestions

 

Thanks,

Nate
