You asked for a $400-$500 system, maybe if you said about $650 pullmyfoot could have given you an Intel setup.
If you want the best system build, up your budget to at least $1000. | |

what on earth is that supposed to mean.
and yes that is the best I can give you. A low end budget = a low end computer. Then again, that setup is not something I would really call low end.. Its pretty dang fast. It will put Crysis on all high settings @ 1650x1080 I assure you.
If you want Intel, you will be looking at an E5300 with that budget. It loses to the AMD CPU in performance though. Anyhows, AMD wins in value in every area between $400 to $1000+. Below that is Intel's Atom and above is i7.
If you could spend another hundred bucks, you could upgrade to a faster Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition and a NVIDIA GTX260 core216 or something along those lines.
