Hey guys. I was interested in building a PC on a budget. $500

I'd like to be able to use it for multi use. Gaming , Video editing and I'd like to be able to open as many facebook tabs as possible lol.

I was thinking ATI but i'm not familiar with the product reviews of their new processors and video cards.

Intel i do love , but if i'm going to build a computer on Budget , might consider going ATI.

I'm going to need a motherboard , case , video card , Hard drive and a good PSU.

What do you guys recommend?

I appreciate all the help guys , And i hope you guys have a wonderful day.

Cheers.
 
Since this is an international forum, it helps if you could let us know what area of the globe you are from. Slight difference between dollars (of various persuasions), euros and pounds.

$500 sounds like a pretty tight budget for what you want to use it for.

-ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 AM3+ Motherboard . Includes USB 3.0 ports, SATA3 6gb/s, 7-channel HD audio, gigabit Ethernet LAN, 2 x PCI Express x16 2.0 slots, Crossfire ready, 6 USB connectors in back, PS/2 mouse ports, digital audio connector, eSata port in rear.

-AMD FX-8320 eight-core CPU, running at 3.5Ghz.

-An Arctic Freezer 7 pro copper core CPU heat sink/fan to keep it nice and cool.

-MSI Radeon R9 270 video adapter with 2GB DDR5 Ram. Includes 1xHDMI, 2xDVI and 1xDisplay Port connectors for multiple displays. Can be used with multiple screen monitors or even on a large flat screen TV.

_Geil Evo dual channel 8GB DDR3 PC12800 CL9 1600Mhz RAM. High End Memory, way better than 1333Mhz chips in most Pcs, 2 Chips installed, and 2 slots for extra. (also this motherboard is capable of supporting 4x 16GB ram which is 64 total GB)

-DVD/RW burner drive.

-650w Solid Gear power supply. Plenty of connectors to grow with your needs, including 1 available PCI-X 6 pin connector for crossfire setup

-802.11n WIFI adapter (One of the antennas is loose). If you want the netgear, the one that's in the picture, that little grey thing in front of the Computer just ask for it and Ill throw it in there. I just didn't think its that big of a problem. 802.11n WIFI adapter works fine though.

-Thermaltake V3 case includes large 120mm Blue LED fan in rear to keep airflow going through the case, Includes 2 x USB 2.0 ans 2 x USB 3.0 ports in front. Lots of space for adding more fans as needed (but trust me it already has plenty of cooling power as needed. Might look cooler with more fans and more leds though)

-Mouse

-Keyboard

-Comes with all disks, all drivers and downloads to put the hardware and software up to date. .
