Post Body

So like many others, I'm new to the computer building scene. I want to build something fairly cheap (~500USD) that is able to game respectfully. I'm not looking for anything major, as I don't game on my PC all that often. I mainly play D3 currently, and use my console for about everything else. My current computer is a complete pile, so I'm looking for an upgrade of ANY sort really. Already have a nice monitor, mouse and keyboard. Any input would be most appreciated!
