Gaming pc

[Zephyrsconic]

Im looking to build a gaming pc with windows 10 for $500 and I don't know what parts to put in it plz help

What kind of games are you wanting to play? Because with Win10 being $100 at its cheapest, that leaves $400 for all the parts and that really restricts what you can do, so knowing what kinds of games you want to play will help.

@Zephyrsonic Make sure you follow your own threads.

I've heard bad things about a number of people getting screwed over using that, so I've never even considered looking at it.

When the hell did I say anything in reference to you?

I thought you were trying to tag me and just missed the "@". It is the first part of my SN after all. Don't need to get all rude and start swearing.
