My first PC, Help me.

[ProJohnathan1]

I've been wanting to make a Pc for a while that's has great price/performance but I have to settle for a pc that is about $500 and yes the monitor is included in the budget it's a very extremely limited budget so what do I do?

By the way I am going for a IPS monitor because visuals.Also I want good 1080P performance with this budget so putting most games on high settings and expecting a frame-rate around 45-60FPS.

[ProJohnathan1]

Thank you.

Sorry I forgot to mention I live in the USA Eastern area so prices are different and also I need it to be BELOW or slightly above $500 (the maximum limit above is $30) and I need an IPS monitor included

I really don't think you can get what you want for the budget you've provided.

I'd suggest saving up some more, mow some lawns, etc.

[ProJohnathan1]

Just that I barely have any time to save up the money because christmas is coming up and maybe I'll bump it up to $600 with IPS monitor Included.

[ProJohnathan1]

Or maybe I should just *GASP* get a PS4 because I heard it's apu is more powerful than the XBOX ONE'S GPU and that the Ram in the PS4 is better along it just being better built for gaming.

If you have a tv already that might make sense.
This is the best build I could do close to the $530 budget.

I have a good tv that can go up to 60hz and 1080p if using hdmi but has no dvi ports or displayport.

The input lag will be slightly worse but you may as well use it. It'll save you $120. I have a friend who plays on his TV and he likes it just fine.

You're not going to get what you want with that budget. You will need to save some more money.
