My close friend wants to build a powerful gaming pc for under $500, but does not need storage. What do you suggest?

Define "powerful", and does the price include an operating system? Windows by itself is $100. You can put together a workable setup for about $600 including OS, it will run fairly decently at 1080p (and for the easier games, will do very well).
