Okay, so I'm looking to build a gaming desktop which can run high end games at mid settings (BF3, skyrim etc) (willing to compromise to low settings, just as long as fps is 50+) and low(er) end games such as TF2, minecraft etc on high settings. My budget is $500 and I only need the things I have listed. Is this the best build in terms of performance for $500? or could I get more performance for my money, or even more for less money?
Thanks
