Sub $500 dollar gaming computer.

This configuration is for people who don’t have the cold hard cash to buy a $2k+ computer or for those who like to do some casual gaming while having the horsepower to do their workstation work.  I present to you, my friends, [laatedaa]?’s $400 dollar build.  It works great and fine as I just built one myself for a friend and it runs modern games without a hitch.  Also it is “future-proof” meaning that you can always upgrade when these parts go haywire.  I took many things into consideration when looking for these products and what goes with what.  I found out that this combination of products works best.
