Posted July 1, 2015 Hi, I am going to be building a new computer for a friend. The budget for the PC is $500 U.S. This is going to be for playing a lot of games. He already has a monitor and is going to be using one, but the ability to use 2 would be great. Need to fit a keyboard, he already has the mouse, monitor. I already have a copy of Windows 8 I plan to install on it. Also needs Wifi Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
