Hello. I was wondering if anyone could help me find decent parts for a gaming computer for $500.

what games are you trying to play? $500 doesn't really get you that far if your building from the ground up. Either buy some old refurbished office computer with a decent CPU in it then add a GPU and probably a new PSU.

Okay very well then. Thank you.

if you can budget another $100 or even $200 i speced out a decent PC for someone else if you wanna take a look at that. It basically uses the cheapest parts i could find that will get you started without needing to upgrade within a year.
