Now before you suggest to build a pc, yes i know it can be much easier or better for gaming but also im not a heavy gamer or am good with pc.
Also the current pc I have right now is definitely long ways from being under the name "gaming pc" its a laptop, Intel core i5, 4gb ram, Intel Hd 4400 (bad i know ;-;) , cpu 1.4 ghz (up to 2.5 ghz)
I'm aware that its not the best gaming pc out there, but what im mainly focusing on is for a good upgrade in performance from my current.
if you have a pc with similar specs I would love feedback on its performance on minecraft (fps) and its overall performance throughout usage. Also if you have any better suggestions for a pc with a similar price I would appreciate :3 thank you!
I've been looking into it and agree. I've also reconsidered about building a pc if so can you help with picking parts? Budget of 500$ it may mot be the best budget for a excellent or extreme gaming build but if you can help make the best of it also with a monitor recommendation I'd appreciate :3
Nice! I'm strongly considering it! Is there any monitor/keyboard you can recommend me? Something very affordable and worthful. You've been a great help.

Obviously as stated already this isn't much of a gaming pc so ive been looking at desktops and heres one i found that looks very affordable: http://www.walmart.com/ip/46186721?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222228033735332&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=70399266752&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=138224602592&veh=sem

It's barely even an upgrade. It's overpriced for what it is.

Does the $500 include the monitor or operating system?
But here is a great build, assuming the monitor isn't in the $500 budget.
