Hello guys! I am looking for a build that costs me $ 500. I need an OS, MicroATX Motherboard and a PSU of at least 500 Watts. I do not need a GPU. Why? I still have a laptop that can play my favorite games at 60 FPS. I will use that PC for School and Web Browsing. The ODD is optional since I will download the games digitally.

So, where is the GPU? I know he "doesn't need one" but if you just don't have one, your pc will absolutely not work.
Replace the CPU to an AMD A10-6790K, after that, you should change the mobo too.
Onboard graphics are ok for web browsing etc.

He needs a working PC without graphics card. That CPU doesn't have integrated graphics.

You can plop a good graphics card in there in the future and it will be a decent one.
