6gb of ddr3 ram

evga e-geforce 9600 gt  

crucial m500 120 gb ssd

maxtor 750 gb hard drive

orion 585 watt psu

Yes totally could have..... I see the pc, been quoting the pc all day long.

Quite a rocking deal actually.

Way better then a Pentium chip using the i5-4570.

Do you plan to upgrade your cpu later?

Yeah upgrading the cpu makes sense. Its still very pricy.

I am a fan of buying used refurbished pc's.

It looks like Newegg is getting rid of their stock.

Good build, but be wary of that PSU. Crappy build quality, crappy efficiency, and will shut down if you pull ~430w from it, let alone 585w. Upgrade it before upgrading anything else in that system.

 

Edit: Seriously.

i plan to i only use it because it is my only psu with a pci power and it only cost $4 from a yard sale

I think it's a pretty good build for the price. 

Some argue that the i5 used would be a better deal, however you'd have spent your entire budget, not have dedicated graphics, and the pentium is perfectly fine when it comes to gaming.
