Need help determining if this PC rig is viable.

I am currently in the search for a new medium build gaming computer and I need help determining if 1. it's even possible to game on my budget and 2. what the best deal is. I am not into PC building, so it will likely have to be a prebuilt system. $500-600 budget, I am currently looking at a few PCs. I am not looking to game very hard, I literally just want to run Black Ops 3, CS:GO, and League of Legends on Medium-High graphics. The most promising PC that I've seen are a GTX 1060 Ti w/ FX 8350 450 PSU and AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Vega graphics w/ Sapphire RX 570 4GB DDR5 GPU 550PSU. The second one is a little out of my price point, so would the first option be able to work or should I continue looking? If anything else is needed just tell me I am very new at computers and don't really know what impacts what yet

1060ti? I believe you mean 1060 or 1660ti.

 

And don't listen to the FX haters, the FX 8350 is fine if you absolutely have to (I own the FX 9590 as my main build right now so I know it's still okay, just)..but I'd try to stretch for the 2200g + RX570 build if I were you. The 2200g is going to last longer and it has an upgrade path too.

 

And honestly..you can get better value builds than these I'm sure, $500-600 for an FX 8350 + GTX 1060 seems a bit steep to me. I think you should continue looking.

This rig doesn't make sense a RX 570 4GB powered by a Ryzen 3 2200G ?  I have to use the dreaded B word.  sighs

Impossible. Anything less than an 8 core with SMT will bottleneck things faster than a GTX 660Ti in his world.
