Hello, my friend needs a new computer and im trying to find him a build for 500 dollars that can game some pretty basic games like minecraft, terraria, and Realm Of The Mad God. So i know those games are not too graphic intensive. If anyone could suggest some builds that would be great after looking forever and not being able to find anything. Also, i'd be fine with custom build or pre-built. Thanks!

the you should at least get an i3 since most games needs 4 cores. and a 1050ti is more reasonable in this price point

I suggested the G4400 because It's generally enough lighter titles and dirt cheap. as far as the rx460 I may have a slight amd bias....
