Ok, so I would like to get a new PC, well, a PC. Currently I have a Macbook from 2008, and it's getting very outdated. I need something new to refresh me. Recently, I have been wanting to indulge myself into the PC gaming realm, so I'm looking for a computer that can do that well, at a decent price.
A few stats to search for:
(it doesn't have to be a GAMING computer, I would like to try and customize a computer to make it cheaper and just what I need, also, please correct me if I forget to mention something key to have in a gaming computer). (:
18"+ HD Monitor (The computer could also be a laptop)
2.5+ GHz Processor
Good Video Card (obviously for gaming, something pretty good)(BF3, CoD, Great PC games)
500+ GB Hard Drive
Accessories:
Mouse and Keyboard, Wireless wouldn't hurt, depending on how much they spike the price.
Headset with Mic, or mic separate, again, depending on how much it spikes the price.
No Additional Software.
I would like to stay within.. $600 or less.. Preferably $500 or less if its possible. +100 Rep to whoever can help me find this computer or build it (:

I really don't know what I'm doing.. haha, what is the RAM and motherboard? the OS? And it looks like you went over the top with some things, like a terabyte hard drive and processor with 3.3 GHz, if you downgraded things like that a little and took the Amazon Prime cost of items, what would the amount be? And how much are these things like RAM and motherboard?

Oh dear haha, If think you might need a bigger budget. Ram isn't too bad but when it comes to the motherboard which is the main thing then the os aswell which can be quite costly. What were you wanting to use like What windows?

Is this good? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] And I was thinking Windows 7 or 8, preferably 7 for games right? And this is what else I've gotten together [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Well i would recommend windows 7 just to keep the costs down ect and alot of drivers ain't updated to windows 8 yet so i would stick to windows 7
New List this has brought prices up because it includes windows and a motherboard and ram:

Looks like the mouse and keyboard you posted about was great. Also i know the prices are scary but think how long it is gonna last you:D Also i know i have probably went over budget but i'd rather you get a good computer than a cheap computer

Hmm, these are downgraded more to where they are still what I want and I can afford them I might use some things you suggested from your first reply as well, now, once I have all of these components, how do I assemble my computer?.. haha, can I have a store or service assemble the computer for me?

Damn! Haha, thats awesome, could you make two sets of components? One that is the least that is required at the cheapest and then one that it at the higher end or a little over my budget with the quality components?
