Build a gaming pc 400-500$

[Balboa9090]

So I’m looking to spend around 400 dollars but I can exceed that a bit to maximize gaming performance. I would like to game at 1080p in games like terraria, CSGO, and maybe PUBG (even though it’s very demanding). So any build ideas would be much appreciated. Also I’m a novice and I need some help. Thanks.

you'll most likely be buying a 200$ prebuilt and dumping a cheap gpu into it for that budget.

and older used i7 system with a 1050 in it might be a way to go.

I'd avoid buying all new parts at your price range it'll just be flushing money down the toilet.

Look in the ryzen 3 2200g apu or even the ryzen 5 2400g apu it is a cpu and gpu combined. You could get 8gb of 2666mhz ram ro 80 dollars and a 1tb hardrive from wd. A 450 watt power supply will be plenty and you won’t need a cooler because the cpu comes with one. And to save money get a A320 motherboard you can’t overclock but it is cheap. Look up some 2200g benchmarks on YouTube to see how they preform.
