Best 500$ Build

[Apeboo]

What is the best 500$ build that I can get? If you can you should try to make room for an ssd. Also I would like some benchmarkers.

[Comessy]

It would just be not optimal to get an SSD in a build that cheap

 

What will the build be used for?

I kinda want to play games like Skyrim, DayZ, H1Z1, ARK Survival, and probably Arma 3.

Also here is a combo on newegg right now and I was wondering if it is good, or should I go for a different one?

You will not be able to play ARK at its current stage with a 500 dollar build, also dont go for an SSD, its not super important, focus on getting a good cpu and gpu.

Don't really like to processor in that one, if its a sole gaming rig i would not go for an AMD cpu

My friend plays on ARK with Austin Evans build and he says it runs fine. I don't know if he is telling the truth or not though...

What currency/where do you live?

[The_Stig]

Is the 500$ just for the components? or will you need an OS?

At this price, your going to end up with one.

Most of those games you won't be able to run a good fps because it's intensive

[Apeboo]

I live in the US.

I have a crappy E1 amd cpu with no dedicated gpu and I can run skyrim at playable frame rate, albeit lowered settings.

Dont know what "austin evans build" is If its not better than yours then hes lying, or he doesent notice that hes playing the game on low with 10fps, you will be able to play it eventually, but at the moment its a complete mess

That's why I said most, games like H1Z1, DayZ, ARK and Arma are quite CPU intensive

I did not see the most part.

Can one of you guys make a good build for me? You can upgrade it so it has a decent processor, and make it so it can run popular games.
