Need help with $500 gaming pc

[Laxer17]

Can someone please build me a $500 gaming pc and it must include windows since my friend hates kinguin? Also if you can squeeze and SSD in there that would be great and please try to get some reliable parts that will last a while not some knockoffs. Also he really likes the Corsair 100R. 

 

Thank you very much!

No, your friend is already sacrificing a significant boost in GPU or CPU power by not getting Windows from another site, don't make it less by getting an SSD.

it is impossible for 500$ to get parts that will last awhile including windows and a SSD

lets think about it like this, a SSD  and windows is about $160-180 that leaves you with 320-340$ for the rest of the parts. Pick one.

Probably going to be the best you get, had to cut some corners but it'll be a solid build still.

Still, man. Save up another fifty bucks but you're already pinching for pennies. Big advocate of SSDs myself, but for this rig it's just stupid

The problem with used though is that you usually have to buy local then otherwise you'll have to pay extra for shipping.

If you have the time used is the way to go for the best bang for your buck.

Let's be honest here,  is he really going to order these parts within the next few hours? And most phenomenal deals are gone.

By getting Windows off another website you could either get an RX 470 or get an i5-6500.  Either raise the budget or get an SSD for Christmas in a few weeks.

Still, there are other websites other than Kinguin to get Windows off of, legit sellers on places like /r/microsoftsoftwareswap that are verified sellers.

Oh, and before you say it. No, an SSD is not worth it over an upgrade to a RX 470 or i5,6500. Either or is a significant boost.
