Building a good Gaming PC was never easy as it’s now, and both used and new markets are full of great hardware that offers great value for the money. We consider this build as a console killer because usually, when new gen of consoles is released, they come at around $500-$600, which is the cost of this build. With this build, you will be able to play most of the titles at around medium-high settings with good frames.
We had the choice to either go with Intel or AMD, and we have decided to pick both CPU and GPU from AMD since it performs incredibly well for the price they cost.
Processor
1-AMD Ryzen 5 2600
From the day it was released, Ryzen 5 2600 has become one of the best CPUs in terms of price/performance. This CPU has a lot to offer at an affordable price. It comes with 6 cores and 12 threads which is enough for all types of current games, and it can also be used for streaming, rendering, and video editing.
What is great about this CPU is the good quality stock cooler. Although this Cooler doesn’t have any RGB or a fancy look, it does the job pretty much well by keeping the CPU at good temps even under load. This CPU has a base clock of 3.4GHz and a Boost Clock of 3.9GHz, and it can be easily overclocked.

Graphics Card
2-AMD RX 570 4GB
In this build, we have brought you the budget king, the RX 570 4GB. This card is one of the best GPUs of all time when it comes to price/performance. It can run all the current games at med-high settings at 60FPS.
There’s another version of this card that has 8GB of VRM, but we don’t recommend it since the full HD (1080P) requires 4GB of VRM, so it’s better to save the extra cost for another part.

Memory
3-Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB)
500$ was enough for us to grab 16GB of RAM. With this kit of 2 sticks of 8GB from Corsair Vengeance, you will be able to have the dual-channel, which will provide you better performance compared to a single channel. Also, This kit comes at 3000Mhz, which is a good speed since Ryzen CPUs benefits from higher clock speed.
Even though 8GB is enough for current games, 16GB is the sweet spot because most of the gamers, if not all of them, always have programs at background like music, youtube, discord, and CHROME (RAM Eater), all these programs require a little amount of RAM except chrome.

6-Thermaltake Smart 500W

Thermaltake Smart 500W is the right PSU for this build. It comes with great cable quality, it has a quiet fan, and it will provide you with the power needed for your component.

Case
7-AeroCool Cylon RGB
We did include this Case in our 300$ Gaming PC build, and we have decided to pick it for this build as well because of the quality of this case. It is a great entry-level gaming case with an RGB in front and enough space for future additional parts.
Furthermore, the AeroCool Cylon RGB comes in 2 different colors (Black & White). It also has 5 fan slots; one at the top, one in the back, and 3 on the front of the case. Plus, the front of the case also supports a 120mm AIO radiator in case you want to have a taste of liquid cooling.
