Would you be willing to build a computer. You will be able to get a lot more for your money. It is not difficult, but it is time consuming the first time.

I have thought about doing it but always feared of me buying the parts then $%@&ing something up and wasting my money.

That is what i though the first time too. But, it is not as challenging as you thing. Watch this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] that is a more complex build than you will probably do but it gives you a good in depth look on what you would have to do.

tbh though i dont think he'll be able to build a good one for just 500$ imo

So I am currently looking for the best gaming tower and the best I have came across so far is.. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Any other suggestions?

That looks good, except I would try to find one with the same specs but with 6gb of ram if you could... (PS NO CyberPower pc's lol) But iBuyPower is great

you should probably build your own, you'll get more for your penny, and not only more but better components

Here is a decent $600 build [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] although if you really needed to save some money you could get a cheaper case and a cheaper power supply.

I swear, this section, god damn. Okay, you're in the PC Building section, not the correct section for pre-built advice, at all. Secondly, you don't want a pre-built. The one you linked has a 3 year old card, that just isn't worth it anyway. You don't want to look for something similar, but with 6GB RAM..! Building a PC is not hard, nor is it time consuming, at all. You can easily build a good rig for $500. If you don't build a rig you're going to get ripped off and waste money so if your issue is wasting money, you're going in the wrong direction entirely.
