I need help with a $500 PC build
Options
Im looking to build my first PC for about $500 dollars, taking into account the only game I hope to play is Rust. What is my best route for this pc build?

I'll link you to a few builds myself and MichaelB were doing a few days ago for someone else. We both ended up closer to $550 but these are two solid budget builds with an option for Intel or AMD.
Intel: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=38900030-7c79-427d-accc-f7bf73a78ccc
AMD: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=9cf6d37d-6b17-472b-83b4-42ed96a4af89
They're both bare minimum. I did the Intel build. CPU will perform marginally better, but you're getting a 1650 Super, vs a regular 1650 with the AMD build. Choosing between the two for a gamer, I'd go with the AMD build.
