NEED HELP! PC Parts Guide

[Missouri_Sniper]

Hello My name is Jonathan and I have been looking for pc parts to build myself a custom pc. I am fairly new to pc building and I need some advice on what components to get (Price Range 500$). I usually play Arma3 on my family's pc and would like to get a PC for myself. With good performance if possible. Thanks!

Arma is heavily CPU bound, to the point where a powerful GPU will do little

Yup. Any small motherboard will fit into a larger case

The i5 comes with its own cooler which will be fine for your use of it. It will cool the i5 just fine
