$500 gaming pc

[Grpisawesome]

I am currently looking to build an atx form factor gaming PC in the $500-$550 range that can run most games on high settings. I also do some YouTube so if I would like to maintain higher fps rates while Recording.

You can get within your budget by changing the 1050ti with 1050, but that will affect your settings and FPS as well.

With the GPU prices being incredibly high atm, and that small budget, it's kinda hard to build something that will play anything you throw at it on High while streaming/recording... In 1080p that is...

Give more details, location to buy pieces, monitor resolution, desired games to play, need peripherals or OS?

"in the $500-$550 range"

Build huh?
You might want to look at used computers. Reason: Your budget is a bit low to get the most for your money.
