Budget Build around a Radeon RX 560 4GB

Budget (including currency): $500

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Dragonball Fighterz, Dark Souls 2/3, Indie Games, potentially newish games at 1080

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): Grabbed an RX 560 off Ebay for $75. Would like to pick up a B550 board since I can use that in my main Machine and use its old B450 Tomahawk Max for this new build.

 

I'm going to be spending a lot of time at my Grandpa's house so I'm putting together a cheap(ish) PC there to access my Steam Library. I picked up an RX 560 off ebay for $75 but I'd like some recs for other parts, namely a CPU that fits in a B450 board. In an ideal world I'd use a Ryzen 3 3100 but supply for that seems pretty scarce at the moment.

 

1080p gaming is really all I need and I THINK the 560 can cover that. Otherwise no need to go crazy.

a little over your budget but i chosed the ryzen 5 3600 over ryzen 3 3100 as there was only a 20$ difference between them

no PSU, so i guess he'll just use a hamster on a wheel to power it instead.

Thanks!

 

I realize now I wasn't clear about this but I wanted to count the $75 I put towards the 560 in the final price. Looking at this I get the impression I may have to go used and old on the CPU to hit that mark
