Living Room Gaming PC : Planning Stage

So I want to build a Living room pc to game on from time to time.

 

I was debating on getting a used Alienware X51 or even getting a console but I decided that should be my last resort.

 

Budget : $500 - $600

 

Games I plan to play :

 

BF4,GTA & MGS

 

I guess you can say mainly Triple AAA Titles

 

What I Want :

 

I would prefer having smooth/Consistent 60 Fps over graphics but I still want the games to look good.

 

So to end this, I'm not sure if I should go with Intel for this or maybe AMD?

 

New Or Used is fine with me!

 

What do you guys think?

 

Let me know!

 

Thank you

Intel Core I7 7820X | Asus Rampage VI | Gigabyte RX 580 XTR | 32GB Crucial Ballistix | NZXT Kraken X62

ADATA XPG 256GB PCIe| Cosmos C700P CM | Lepa MaxPlatinum 1050W

What area of the USA?

Used prices range alot...

Some places you will get a $1200 pc for 600 and others a $650

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

The CPU is almost definitely going to need to be intel. I'd say the G3258 or something Skylake but I haven't stayed up to date with Skylake so I can't recommend one.

Not worth getting used there sorry.

4460+r9 380 is your best bet

Yeah it's actually a nice processor for lower to mid end GPU's especially if you overclock it which you can very easily do with the Hyper 212.

What about with higher end GPU's or even dual GPU setups at 1440p or even 4K?

I wouldn't use it for any of that however if you really were planing to do any of that then even something like a i5 4460 wouldn't really be the best for that either . If you were planning  to buy something like a 980 ti or fury x or mid to high end SLI or Crossfire setup then I would look for a higher end CPU now to make it a lot easier for yourself to upgrade in the future.
