$500 Dollar Budget PC?

[CobbleWalker]

This is for my friend who want's to play TF2 with me and a few others, so It doesn't have to have the best hardware.

I've got a z97 Fatality Mobo I plan to sell him for $75, G3258 build? Anyway, thanks for the help!

Can you push for an extra $36? This can play TF2 easily at 2160p 144fps.
