Cheap gaming pc

[Perylium]

Hello. 

 

I've been tasked to build a pc to a younger sibling. And since I'm not too familiar with what pc parts are good for a budget build, I've come to you for help. 

 

I'm searching for a good budget pc build for gaming at a price range around $550. 

 

If there would be someone who could help me, that would be greatly appreciated!

I'm assuming peripherals are already included, and that you are buying from the US.

Minus monitor, mouse, and keyboard of course. If you need those, cut the hard drive out of the budget and get it later.

 

Also, used graphics card is HIGHLY recommended, RX 570/470 and 580/480 all go for good prices right now. The PSU I selected only has one 6+2 pin PCIe power cable so it can support any graphics card that needs an 8 pin, which includes up to a 1070.

Country would help, as well as what games he/she plays.

Live in Denmark, so shipping from the US would be a pain. As of games that they would play, I've been told that they wanted to play Fortnite.

Go with ryzen 2 nd gen and Rx 580 for better gaming performance and not for cpu related tasks

Good luck for a good pc

I assume its 550 EUR not USD? Because if its USD then I would have to make some tweaks

is shipping from Germany ok?

I'm slightly over. If your budget is tight, I can adjust.
