Looking to build my first PC. I need a cheap semi-gaming build under 500. Must be able to o/c.
Thanx

Here's what I got - $514 total before taxes. Best I could do for semi-gaming... otherwise you're compromising some performance.

There is a $20 MIR for the videocard, which brings it down to $494 before taxes.

Boom....saved $50 over NCIX "sale" pricing. Just order it online, pricematch, then pickup order. Now you're under $500.

They don't tend to pricematch in the store.
