Need help building a low budget pc

[AetherDUN]

Hello to everyone, who is reading this. I've just recently discovered LinusTechTips and got interested in PC building. However, I'm very new to it and need your help. The matter is: I need to build a new PC! Mine is like, what, 9 years old, and it can hardly even play Fortnite (Minecraft good, Fortnite bad lol). My budget is around 300 to 400 USD dollars, as I'm a high-school student. Also, a note, I already have all peripherals, so that budget is solely for the PC. Thanks in advance!

This build will be a Good for now and then save up for a graphics card like gtx 1050ti or 1060 or whatever you want but I don’t suggest super cheap Gupta like gt 710 or like that

Wow, and it has potential for upgrading more, right?

2600 doesn't have a igpu. I would recommend a 2400g or 3400g as long as you get a motherboard with bios flashback

The 2600 does not have integrated graphics... This computer will not work without a dedicated GPU, I would recommend going for a 2400G, as the motherboard may also not be compatible with 3000 series CPUs out of the box. If it does have the update the 3200G is within budget as well.
