Thinking of upgrading to PC this year but I have a low budget.

[PCnewbie678]

I want to upgrade to PC this year from my PS4 but I'm not very good with computers at all. However I am worried about the compatibility of the PC's parts and I don't have much money to spend (My budget is around $550-600). I would like to be able to run most of the popular first person shooters efficiently with a low budget PC(ideally something under $500 dollars). In short I was wondering if the build I made on PCPartPicker would be able to do these things and last for a long time as well and I  was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

You may run into compatibility issues between the CPU and motherboard. Compatibility was added in BIOS version F40, which came out 2019/05/16, so if the board wasn't updated, you may not be able to POST at all. You may want to either get a MAX board from MSI or one with a BIOS Flashback button, like the Tomahawk or Gaming Plus.

 

Other than that, it seems fine.

Though I'm sure someone will swoop in a give you a "better build" for your money. Or recommend other parts.

You're better off saving up another $100 or so, and get a 2600 plus a 1660Ti.

Thanks for the help, this build seems a bit more up my alley on costs and It seems that I don't have to really worry about potential updating the BIOs problems between the motherboard and the CPU

Yeah, the updating the BIOs compatibility issue has been my biggest worry since I don't really know how I would be able to solve that particular problem.
