Not possible unless you want a complete POS that is both garbage spec and not upgradable (as in psu is garbage and needs to be swapped the moment you upgrade the gpu)

 

500$ with everything but (16gb) rams and (1tb) ssd used gets you a 5600(x) + 6700xt/6800 whereas new itd only get you a 5500 and a 6600 at best whilst having a pos psu that isnt reusable

I would genuinely try to get something used. On budgets below ~$1000 US have massively worse performance compared to used components. You can find full gaming systems for ~$500 with something like an R5 3600 and GTX 1080 Tis, while if you're building a new system you'd be limited to an RX 6500 XT and 12100F at most. 

 

If you're dead set on a brand new system, this is probably the best you can do, though again, you should look at the used market near you and go for something there rather than brand new.

Thank you so much, I would personally want to go used but my parents want me to buy new. This build would be perfect
