I can't cut corners though.

 

@WereCat I think you forgot a CPU cooler.

You don't really need an aftermarket cooler for a non k processor, you might need it if your system is running a bit hotter then you want or your ambient temp is quite high.

I didn't. The one comes with CPU is good enough.

Why do you guys all pick an i5, an i3 is good enough for LoL, Smite, Cs;Go 

[Caloon]

Take h97 if you take locked (non k) processor. And stock cooler is just fine, so you can save a buck or two.

That's 3 games, not most games.

And although he mainly talked about those, he also wants to play other games as well.

Oh right, sorry, I kinda thought it would say "BOX" in the description... oh well.

i3 is not the sweet spot.

[Peking Duk]

R9 270 is probably right for you, but you cant get an i5 and an r9 270 with a 500 dollar budget. If youre willing to overclock you should get a g3258. It only has 2 cores though so if you wanna play GTA V you should get a 4 core CPU like the x4 860k. I3 is probably not a good idea because ht can have negative impact on gaming performance.

Can we assume that you mean most games at 1080p Ultra?

The CPU and GPU can be a bit of a hot discussion, but as long as you get a good quality power supply and a half decent motherboard (for a decent upgrade path, like a Z97 board) you should be more or less covered.

GTX 960 is a great card that I personally recommend, but you won't be able to run ALL games at 1080p Ultra (the only game I have to turn the settings down is Crysis 3).

Also, try to cut corners where possible. For example, I got a secondhand case from a friend. It may not cut down the cost massively as a whole, but every little helps.

Just don't cut corners on your PSU.
