Someone help me piece together a gaming/art centered PC with a budget of around 500 dollars (could go up, but I'm thinking that's reasonable for the time being).
I have no preference to brands.

as far as all the other parts, if you're building a PC, getting something together that runs decent bottom up will cost you round 'bout 700 - 1000 dollars, depending on where you shop.
most expensive components will be mobo, proc, Graphics card. usually these components alone will run you a total of 400 dollars.
Power Suppy, Case, HDD, CD/DVD drive, RAM, is all ... easy to find at decent prices. just depends on how much and what exactly you're looking for.
and anything you add extra, like additional fans and what not (LEDs if that's your thing) are all cheap.
soooooooooo yah.

hehe j/k. :3
