Hello, first off this is a budget build with a 500 dollar or less budget. The main focus of the build is the best gaming performance for my buck. Your are not the first people I've asked to comment on this build and this build is revised from the previous forums suggestions. For my original build thread look here: First PC build, need help. - Tech Support Forum It's not that I didn't appreciate their help I just want to get as many opinions as possible.
Ok here's what I have

Monitor:
I'll be using an old 17" dell CRT (I listed as 15" on other forum which was a mistake) monitor I have in storage. It's not great but it will do till I have the money for something better.
This puts my build at $421.94 not including shipping for the case and a couple of MIR's.
Lemme know what you guys think. And also an idea of the kind of performance I'll see would be appreciated
