I was thinking of building my own P.C so I decided to go to pcpartpicker and pick the parts for my build.
This is the link if anyone else wants to take a look and feel free to edit it to your likings: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i3-2130 3.4GHz Dual-Core Processor (Go for a single core for if you don't have enough in your budget)
Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M/CSM Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (Maybe for a total of 4 Gb if your tight on your budget)
Storage: Hitachi Ultrastar 750GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (Maybe up to 1tb for recording)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB Video Card (If you can spend 120, you can buy a Gtx 550 ti for 100)
Case: Gigabyte GZ-F5HEB ATX Mid Tower Case (if you have money you can probably get one with a power supply already with it)
Power Supply: Diablotek 500W ATX Power Supply

Price: 497.50

You don't really need a optical drive (Were you put DVD, CD, Etc) since you can install windows with a USB, can get most game on steam,and watch movies on netflix unless you know that your going to burn CD, DVDs, Etc.

If you have extra money than buy a Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse or any other accessories.

THIS IS JUST if you want to start off with just the PC.
Again if you want to add more or take less go ahead

P.S post your builds with the price, I'd like to see what you guys can mix n' match

Anyone who recommends a Diablotek PSU needs to not be giving advice.

Here: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Over-budget, but the free games make up for it and you get parts that are quality, not garbage.

This has a better CPU, RAM configuration, case, PSU, graphics card, and hard drive.
