Hey all! I’m from the USA and looking to build a new gaming pc. The only game I play is CSGO and some occasional fortnite. I play on low/med settings and want 180+ fps if possible. I’m looking to complete this build for under $500.

 

I have a spare i5-6500 that I’d like to use in this build.

 

any advice would help ❤️

If you need to buy a cooler, you can bump the SSD down to a 120GB, or the GPU down to an RX 580 4GB and buy a cheap cooler. You can also change the case out if you want something cheaper, smaller, or just different looking.
