Hey guys, I'm looking to buy an everyday pc that can run a couple of games like counter strike. I have three that I'm looking into that are within my price range. Could you guys tell me which is the best of them? Thanks in advance.

They are all terrible, use low end components and are a waste of money.

Build it yourself if you want a half decent pc.

You will just be told to not buy a prebuilt here. As you should be.

It is a waste of your money to buy a pre-built machine. They are mostly poor quality parts, bad distribution of cost-to-performance on where you should be putting your money.

If you're willing to spend $500 on a PC, you can be willing to build one to get the best for your money.
All of the builds you've shown us are awful for the money and will not be good for gaming at all.

You can drop the SSD and change the 260x to a 270/280 or something. Either way, add another 4GB RAM asap. Oh, and you can spend an extra $5 for the CM N200 instead of the Core 1000, if you wish.
