youll need to find some insane deals to fit a dgpu like an rx 570 into that budget. maybe go for an athlon 3000g on a b450, gets you 4ghz overclocks and upgradability in the future. buying used would make all that a lot easier

topics i need help on:

U should adjust ur expectations look at some build guides on PC part picker, the entry level Intel could work but no ryzen at that stage with a dedicated GPU, u could go onboard graphics, but that is a little spotty sometimes, also it will get extremely!ly outdated quickly
