Hello, I am a console pleb, and I want a gaming PC that can handle PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Rainbow Six Siege, and other games like this. My budget is $400-$450 USD. Also, I think for the CPU I want the Pentium G4560, but the rest is up to you. I'm not interested in used parts. Also, I'd love suggestions for a budget monitor and other peripherals. Thanks.

I assume that monitor and peripherals will be bought seperately? If yes:

A few things to note here:

If possible, you can opt for a RX 570 if you are extremely lucky.

You can also opt for a 450W EVGA White Power Supply.

You can change the HDD for a SSD if you want more speed, but it's going to limit your storage.
