Entry Gaming Rig

Budget (including currency): $500-600 USD

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Call of Duty

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Looking for a beginner gaming rig for a 13 year old who wants to be able to play the newest Call of Duty game. I would like to build something with a good potential to be upgraded. I have a basic, mechanical mouse and keyboard and a decent monitor for the time-being, so they do not need to be factored in. I am looking to buy in the next month, so, depending on what comes back, could be within the 3 days afterwards. Not looking for anything specific other than the ability to upgrade.

Probs anything will run Call Of Duty classic, jokes aside which COD are you referring to?

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help

He is looking to get the newest Black Ops game. Sorry, I haven't aged CoD for probably the last 4 entries.

Something I quickly put together, should run the newest COD no problem, some things could be changed, but wanted a little bit of upgradeability.

Obviously, the higher, the better, but being a budget rig, looking for mid range range+, especially if it is something that could be upgraded easily enough in the future.

Pretty upgradable for future use B550 supports current CPU's and the new coming with a BIOS update, CPU is probably the first to be upgraded to a 6 core instead of 4

How would these specs hold up to what I am looking for? Is there room for decent upgradeability?
