Urgent

Goot

Building a PC for school now. Max budget is $500, the lower the better. I will be playing a few games, nothing that is going to be very demanding. Mostly going to be League of Legends, and CSGO. Then school work! This is what I currently have.. Looking to stay intel, but if need be, I'll go AMD. Need a CPU, and Mobo for this build. If you want to share your own build, feel free. Hardware only, no peripherals, or OS.

It was a challenge, but I managed to come in at the $500 pricepoint while still staying Intel. This is a good all-around build, leaves you room for 16GB of RAM, a slightly better video card, and definitely an SSD in the future. 

 

Edit: The power supply is absolutely overkill, as you only need at most a 450w PSU, but the price is extremely nice right now. Plus, if you do drop down a tier in PSU, you could get more RAM, or even a GTX 960. It's up to you though.
