Recently I've decided to join PC Gaming and want build my own gaming rig. I'm on a $500-600 budget.
Could someone help me find parts and keep me in my budget.


What is your budget and currency? $500-600 USD
Do you need a monitor? Yes
Do you need a keyboard? No
Do you need a mouse? No
Do you need an operating system? No
What will you use the PC for? Gaming - want to be able to run any game with decent settings.

Not without more information, no.

Budget is $500-600, is that USD, CAD, NZD, AUD, etc?
Do you need a monitor within budget?
If not, what monitor(s) are you using?
Do you need peripherals? If yes, which peripherals will you need?
What exactly is the system going to be used for? If games, what games? What other than gaming will the system be used for?
Anything else?

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock - B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($75.71 @ Amazon)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($78.99 @ Newegg)

Power Supply: SeaSonic - S12III 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($34.99 @ Amazon)
Monitor: Acer - SB220Q bi 21.5" 1920x1080 75 Hz Monitor ($89.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $584.15

If you have a MicroCenter local, you should check their stock because they have R5 1600's for $80, plus an extra $30 off if you buy a compatible mobo with it. Otherwise, R3 1200 will be fine. You could maybe get 8GB RAM for now if you wanted to save some cash, but I'd probably just stick with the 16GB if you can manage it. 8GB of DDR4 3000/3200MHz should be about $50. The SSD I included will be fine for now, but you might want to add an HDD when you have some more cash.
