New PC 500 dollar range

[8slim]

Hi I was wondering if this build was looking good or if maybe I should change the gcard or go intel with the i3-6100. Thanks

Wait for the Rx 480. Same price, better performance.

That HDD is hideous, the CPU/motherboard/RAM is about 5 years out of date.  I'd either be looking at used (probably could get an Ivy Bridge machine for that money with SSD), or saving a bit more up until you could afford to get a SSD at the outset, Skylake board, etc.  Or even omit the fancy video card, at least for a few months.

1. Where do you live? (US UK EU where?)

2. Do you mind buying used PC parts?

 

You can get much better price/performance by going used.

I live in US. I am not sure I can by used. Maybe I could though

in a month the 480 comes out which will be a huge performance increase over your current GPU pick and will be the same price.
