Generally speaking, how much would the parts cost altogether? I have a guy I went to high school with here who claims he can build me a really good gaming PC for 500 total. I don't believe him.

It really depends how you define really good. Really good price to performance yes. Playing games at HD sure is possible, but playing games at anything higher impossible.

There are same great budget build YouTubers though. You can check them out.
