Building a $500 Gaming PC
Hello,
I have recently been looking to build a gaming PC, but, I'm on a really tight budget. I'm looking to play games such as GTA 5, Titan Fall 2, Rainbow Six Seige, Team Fortress 2, CSGO, and possibly a few others. I have gotten many recommendations for a $500 Gaming PC and it's been pretty rough. I have begun to realize that some parts that were picked on PC Part Picker were not in stock or just not available to the local Micro Center near me (Cambridge, Massachusetts). If y'all can give me some suggestions or builds I can look at, it would be very thankful.

500 is a pretty tight budget for some of these titles. If it's possible, I'd recommend saving a bit more. Also, another recommendation I might have is to check your Cambridge store for open box items from time to time.Here's what I'd recommend based on your current budget.This build uses the 3200G, which is an APU. This gives you the option of adding a dedicated GPU at a later time.This is a bit over budget after tax, but I think it's the closest we'll be able to get at this time.Hope this helps!
