All he told me was: around 500 and able to play like wow, Warframe, PlanetSide 2, borderlands, gta.

He'll be on 1 monitor, settings don't have to be super high, but the better the specs at 500$ or less the better.
Anyone able to throw something together on pcpartpicker?

I mean it can be done but it sure as hell won't be pretty.

take mine
