[Build Help] <$500 gaming PC
Hi guys, I'm helping a friend with a hybrid build. We will use his existing hdd, case, monitor, mouse/keyboard. The Goal of this build is to play BF3 at 1080p at around medium settings spending the least money.
Any suggestions on ways to save some cash and or improve the build are welcome. Thank you for the help.
