Question 1: Where do you live?

Question 2: Are you willing to buy used PC parts?

Why aren't you willing to buy used PC parts? I do it all the time and it allows me to get significantly more price/performance out of a computer build than anything that could be done with used PC parts. If you want to go new that's fine, but I'm letting you know by going used (and buying from reputable sellers) you could get a computer that potentially performs as well as an $800-$1000 computer built with new parts.

And i did look its that i dont trust used

I'm pretty sure you can't run those games at max with $500 unless you do some wicked overclocking. Here's a build I made for $500 USD:

Down the line I would suggest upgrading the CPU to an i5 and maybe getting an SSD. a Western Digital Black is a very good hard drive for housing games and should do decent in the way of load times.

Ever heard of the series Scrapyard wars on linus's youtube channel? They build kickass gaming PCs all the time with used parts and all of them work fine. But okay, if you are absolutely dead set on building a PC for $500 with new parts, i'm just gonna say off the bat it's not gonna play those games at max and ultra settings. Therefore you will either need to lower your expectations to what you can get out of a $500 PC build (probably likely medium-high settings), or go used and be able to play games at your chosen resolution. It's your call.

Yes i watched all of them but i looked and there r hardly any parts that r good

You are hilariously wrong on that. Just look for a used CPU, since CPUs never die... unless they're over a decade old and overclocked out the ass, and look for a decent motherboard that's of the "Like New" condition. However, if you're completely against this idea, then what CoD game are you looking to max out? The last 3 games required a pretty beefy PC to handle maxing out for some rather stupid reasons.

Mw3 bo2 and bo3 maybe advanced warfare

MW3 you can do no problem, BO2, probably be fine too, but BO3 and Advanced Warfare are not gonna happen on a $500 budget.

This is the best I could come up with. It's small, it has an SSD, and the FX-6300 is a great chip for $100, topping it off with a GTX 960 will handle any game you want just about. I don't know about Ultra settings for most newer titles, but it should handle whatever you need.

Is this good for medium to high settings
