There's this but a used PC will offer better value, or even an old office PC that you could buy a graphics card for would be better than this.

 

If you have to buy new, then go for this

3000g is $90???? thats terrible value the 3200g is just $10 more with 2 more cores and more performance

The build from @HelpfulTechWizard is your best bet, but do notice it doesn't include tax (even though it claims to). Also know you'll need to purchase Windows 10 for it. And this is all assuming you have the peripherals. Also note that it won't play Apex Legends very well, set your goal for low settings to get playable fps.

That build would be the best one actually. Although the PSU quality is questionable. Also don't forget about the storage. I'd recommend 16gb of ram if you can squeeze it in your budget.

Not anymore you don't. AMD is VERY competitive these days, especially in the low to mid range price you're looking at.

 

A Ryzen 5 for less money than an i3 is a no-brainer.

AMD is definitely competitive but show me a new Ryzen 5 below $72 USD.

Ah, I didn't see that Intel build. Note, the build I suggested had 2x the ram, and at 1200mhz faster, but the inetl build will have better GPU.

okay thanks  is it true that ram frequency isnt that important on intel?

not as important? yes.  large diffrences in CPU between below stock ddr4 (stock is 2666 iirc) and 3600? yes.

so 2400 should be fine?

I quickly noticed how small the SSD is on all proposed Builds. Having only ~250GB worth of space is fairly pointless. I would go for double that, or if the OP can squeeze it in his budget, go 1TB.

 

@~$400 to ~$500 is still fairly cheap but with some care you can put together a nice system.
