New build

[bigmouthbob1]

I am planing a new build but I need parts that are compatible with each other since I’m not big on computers I was hoping you could help. I would like a red or blue computer (though not that important) and I would like it to be able to play csgo at medium graphics. My budget is $500 though it is very flexible

A build like this will get you started and playing at good graphical settings with solid FPS numbers.

One thing of note is that you'll want to check reviews before buying the board, make sure people are getting it with the latest BIOS just to make 100% sure.

He said that his budget is very flexible, so maybe a system with a dedicated GPU for a bit more money would be better.

If OP finds that's needed one can be added if the budget if flexible enough.

At $500:

XBOX One X

PS4 Pro

 

AT 633$:

Please believe me that this is worth the saving the extra $133 10 times over.  The performance improvements of having a 580 over vega 11 are immense.

 

EDIT:  IF there is a microcenter near you they will give you that processor for 80, and they'll give a $30 discount on any mobo.

If you can find a little better for 50-80 I could fit it in
