Best pc for 500$

[HAKNIPAN]

Sup seople,

I've been looking for a while to buy myself a pc for some gaming, music production and video editing. My budget is around 500 euro. I can't really find the best price/quality stuff. Its hard to decide cuz there's so many different products out there. Any suggestions? (i already have a screen, mouse, keyboard, external audiocart) Thanks!

Maybe a SSD actually  

 

The RX470 is almost as powerful as a 970 thus you'll be set for 1080p gaming for the next few years (albeit at slightly lower settings later on), the CPU isn't the best but it's more or less as good as an i3 6100 so you know...

The PSU is high quality enough where you may throw a 1070 at it for example and have it still run fine without having to worry about it blowing up, the motherboard will support kabylake and skylake i5/i7 so you have a nice CPU upgrade path ect. ect.

I have some parts laying around: Nvidia GTX 690 4gb, Msi b85-g43 Motherboard, Intel core i5-4460 CPU and an 8g ram stick. Will these parts improve the pc? I'm a little bit conserned because the gtx 690 is a little bit old... Also do i need another Power Supply if i use these parts instead?
