$500-$600 Gaming PC

[ZeKingIII]

My buddy was wondering what type of parts/quality he could get for the budget of a $500-$600 gaming pc. I had just semi-randomly threw some parts together to get This Jumble, one requirement was he did want a mid-atx case and didn't really want to overclock. Any suggestions and/or builds in mind anyone?

I would wait for RX 480s to come back into stock and get an 8GB one for sub $200

Please never touch that case, I still have nightmares

One I put or the one you listed?  Makes sense 480 is also a nice sub.

the 4/580 is completely out of stock and the 1060s are just as good for gaming, so just get the 1060.

Indeed they are, also G.Skill Aegis is really good if someone was looking for speed and quality really close to the Ripjaws V if they didnt want to spend the extra like $20 or smin, not completely sure

Also Id like your opinion on how good a server PC would be with These Parts. I'm planning to run like highish end game servers like modded Ark: Survival Evolved. Also the extra parts are so it can be installed along with another pc in the same case the Enthoo Mini XL
