So would you be needing; monitor, mouse, keyboard and a copy of windows?

You can get a very nice system that meets these requirements. I put $600 into my build and i'm able to play BF3 on High settings and get 45-50FPS. Just don't go with an expensive case like I originally intended on doing. Get a little, cheap case and then upgrade cases later. Good luck on your build.

I think you could build one for 500 but depends what you want.

I would do either pc or laptop which ever seems better from your recommendations and yes I will need a mouse monitor keyboard

Laptop = bad
Desktop = good

You can make a good pc for 500$ if you need help building I can talk you through some of it if you needed its not that hard and is cheaper then the ones in stores.

the moniter is already $130 down the drain an a motherboard is like 260$ thats 390$ keyboard an mouse is like 30$ and the vid card is going to be $100-500 so if the vidcard lets say is $150 i just dont see the build happening with the keyboard and mouse and moniter. Maybe if the pc was $500 withought all thoose things then you will have a chance but the moniter and os is 130$ and $100 you wouldnt be able to do much. Save up to like $800 and repost this cuz im daying that the moniter and os byitself is going to be $230 and the vidcard is $150 or more. I just dont see a build that could run those games. The build wouldnonly be like a $200 - $300 build.

Do you know what you are talking about? I bought everything when i built i PC and spent $600, and that is just because i went with a cheaper case and saved $100 extra. A $500 build is perfectly capable of being accomplished.

Are you just naming components and saying random numbers? 260 for a motherboard? Are you serious?

OP, you will only be able to build the PC ALONE with a 500 dollar budget. Unless you want to get a cheap KB & mouse and run your computer through your TV until you could buy a monitor. Even doing that you wont get a good build. You'll still need the OS which isn't cheap. With a $500 you're maybe looking at an APU system.
