Budget PC build (For gaming and 3d model building) Need help

Budget (including currency): Around $600 USD. Less money will help me out a ton! ($600 USD or less if you guys can help!)

Country: 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Blender, Forza Horizon 4, Apex Legends, Minecraft, Modern Warfare and many others.

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): 

My list atm is only for experimenting on how much I want to spend and the power it will hold.

The list of what i'm researching atm is:

(I am upgrading from a pretty crappy and old Lenovo PC with integrated graphics. (CPU: AMD A8 and I'm dumb so I do not know the specs but I do know that it's very slow.)

 CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 with the cooler

GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 8GB

PSU: ??? maybe a thermaltake 500 watt PSU

RAM: XPG Z1 DDR4 3200MHz 16GB (2 sticks)

STORAGE: Team Group T-Force VULCAN SOLID STATE DRIVE

CASE: ??? Maybe a Rosewill RANGER-M since it is a very budget option

MOBO: Gigabyte B450M DS3H (Would like a cheaper option since it's 86 bucks rn.

I do not need a monitor just to make things clear. I play at 1080p, 60Hz since my monitor is pretty bad, but it gets the job done.

That is all, if anyone can please help me out I will be super grateful. I have been planning to make a PC for a while now.

You can install windows for free straight from microsoft.

At least the case has a mesh front

 

PSU pricing is still completely insane across the board.

 

the 1600 12nm is a 2600, they used to be $100...

Hey Everyone, I just Bought this Case on Amazon USA for $39, It's Tempered Glass on both sides it's huge and comes with 4 RGB Fans and an RGB Light Strip I Highly recommend this case for that price point.  https://smile.amazon.com/Eluktronics-Pre-Installed-Tempered-Computer-Chassis/dp/B08P1KSCGN/ref=sr_1_31?ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-org00-win10-other-smile-us000-pcomp-feature-rscomp-wm-5&dchild=1&keywords=eluktronics&qid=1607056084&sr=8-31    (Edit) The last picture is the air intake for the front of the case that routs up to a removable 240mm rad/fan mount. IMG_20201203_100830.thumb.jpg.9b83385a41f8a11af644b904277e3fca.jpg

Thanks for this list of parts, it's very helpful and I might use it if I need too, but do you think you could help me out with a list that includes a GPU. I will also be looking for a budget PC with a GPU too. Sorry if I made it sound like your list was bad, but it's great and I might use it if I can, like I said before. Thanks!! (I would just like to max out the performance and since I might be playing Forza Horizon 4 a lot, I might need some more gaming power.) (Tell me what you think, as you know I am really dumb and this might actually be good for FH4.)

GPU pricing is insane, forgot to add that part

 

i would highly suggest just finding a used RX 470/480/570/580 8GB if you're mainly gaming at 1080p until pricing is better.

 

Assuming one of those is near $100 for a non mining card, and 8GB only.

or a 1060 6GB if one is cheap too. or even a 1070 for ~$200

Hello, I have found I what I think is a pretty good deal for a GPU and CPU. (Or I'm just stupid.)

I'll put the links right here for you to check out!

Ryzen 5 1600: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07XTQZJ28/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=ryzen+1600&qid=1607152155&s=electronics&sr=1-2

 

Radeon RX 570: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-RX-570-ARMOR-8G/dp/B076Y93L8F/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=radeon+rx+570&qid=1607152201&s=electronics&sr=1-3

 

Thanks!

I think that is the 12nm R5 1600, which is actually an R5 2600

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XTQZJ28?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

 

But I certainly would not pay that much for an RX 580, they're really only worth like $100-120 for the 8GB models, ebay will be your best friend to watch out for.

Or maybe offer up/craigslist where you can see it working

OK, I'll check it. Thanks! (BTW I put the link to a RX 570 in my last post from yesterday, did you mean that or did you mean the RX 580?)

I wouldn't pay more than like $120 for an 8GB RX 480 or 580, little lower for the 70 cards.

 

Miners are probably screwing with the market again
