Okay so i am building a new gaming computer and i have no idea what i am doing. my budget is around $1,300. All i will be doing is playing games and getting on the internet with it. I have around 20 Games so im guessing im going to need alot of memory? I have been looking at stuff on newegg.com and im not really sure what im looking at. I picked out a case that i liked http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16811144153 and a monitor http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16824254023. And my dad gave me a new 500 watt power supply. So i need help getting everything else for the computer.

Well I honestly don't think a 500W PSU will do the job you want on a new system so i included one that will. I still come in under your budget tho
