I was looking for a decent/good gaming computer for around/under $500. The thing that allows me to say good/decent and that price range is that i have a 750ti, several 1tb hard-drives around the house, and a copy of windows. And advice or complete replacement of all my parts for the absolute optimal build giving my budget and available parts.

 

This is one of my options so far that I put together.
