Okay, long story very short my PC went boom. I've got about 500.00 to get the parts to build a new one. I've already got the peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitors, case) I've also already got a new 800 watt PSU. what I need help on is choosing the best PC I can source for that money. Its mainly going to be used for gaming and video encoding so 8-16GB of memory would be a plus as would a decent gfx card. Any help would be really appreciated as its been a while since I've had to buy and build from scratch.
