Re: Need help building a desktop gaming computer You definitely aren't "future proofing" much on a 500-$600 budget. You're going to be limited on what you can do with such a small amount.
CPU and GPU are going to take up most that amount.
Even a lower end locked i5 is going to run you ~$170. That might be the cheapest.
You might have to look into getting maybe an AMD FX-4100 processor to save on money. |

Whatever price-range he is in, Intel is the right answer, still. -- Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. |

It gets tougher building a gaming PC with such a low amount of money. |
