Need help

So I posted about some premade builds the other day, and I just decided that I'd build my own, and I will probably have a budget of around $800-900, is there any tips for how I should proceed? My only intentions are to run Black Ops 3, League of Legends (I know this is absolutely easy to run), and CS:GO all on high graphics. I don't need anything super high tech, just a medium PC build that will get the job done. Thanks! (Is this in the right forum? I have no idea)

I'd go with a Ryzen 3600 and RX 580 build myself.

From what I've seen, the RX 580 looks very good, but would the RX be better paired with a Ryzen vs Intel? Like what is the difference? Thanks !

1920 x 1080 and somewhere around 70-90 FPS I don't see the difference above 60 but I want to be safe and have higher.

the difference is in the single percentage points, in fact, if you can I'd grab a 1600/2600 because they are fine chips and can be had real cheap.

3600 & 580 can easily hit 200+fps.  gtx1660 is even faster

i choose 2600 over 3600 so you can make it cheaper while maintaining the gaming performance. i bet this one its good for money. but you can swap the CPU to 3600 actually.

 

i can make it cheaper for that kind of game-like around 500-600 if you want it.

Yes absolutely! As cheap as I can get, I just want a max of $800-900 as I really don't know what type of parts i need for those games so anything even as a starter is perfect. Thank you!!!

The b450 pro 4 is commonly used in a budget build tho, and the RX570 perform similarly with 1060 wit cheaper price. 2200 is basically enough for 570. if you want more future proof than i suggest to go ryzen 5

This is a 1440p capable rig. you can settle down with a rx580 if you dont need the extra horsepower.
