Your first PC Gaming Rig

[KingKickass]

The same one I am using now! I just built this thing too. Haven't finished it though, still on a limited budget.

But, anyways
CPU - Intel i5 3570k
GPU - N/A still working on getting that
Motherboard - MSI Z77MA-G45
RAM - 8GB
Power Source - Corsair GS500
500GB of Hard Drive space

In total it costed around $500 USD, and I think it's pretty good; I still need a damn graphics card though.

I bought it around December of last year. Cost around 1300, but it was on sale. It can run Shogun 2 total war on max settings, Skyrim on high. So i would say it was a good buy. Bought from Ibuypower
