My friend wants to build a PC that can play rust.

[Legolessed]

So I build computers all the time and my friend wants me to either build him a PC that can play rust or find a pre built PC for that. Right now he's running rust on his laptop with a bad Intel Celeron duel core and he wants a desktop. He just wants the build to run rust at a playable framerate, he doesn't care about quality settings. He can't go over $500 with the prebuilt and $300 with the custom built.

So he can spend 500$ on a prebuilt but only 300 on parts? hUh?

if he can spend 500 for the pre build why can't he spend 500 for the custom?

funding. he is able to get more to buy a prebuilt than a custom built. technically he can get $500 for both but its way harder for him to get the money on the custom built.

With 500$ He'd be lucky to even get in game past the loading screen.

$500 is a pretty good budget. you can use a core i5 6400 with that budget

And with what gpu? Just checking prices here, everything with the cheapest parts next to a 6400 is coming around to 450-480.. So unless you can get a decent GPU for 20$ then your friend might be out of luck.
