[SOLVED] Budget Build Challenge!

[kennytodd]

Hello everyone,

I built my first PC a few months ago and loved the challenge and everything involved with it. Now my friend wants to get into PC gaming but wants to start out with a $500 budget for the PC, can anyone recommend me components? I'm thinking about an RX 570/580 and a Ryzen 2200G for the main components, as the ram, ssd, psu, cooler, etc are much less half the cost and the options are endless. Can this great community leave some info on good CPU and GPUs for budget builds?

I like the 2600, any idea what FPS this system could push on mainstream titles (max graphics) 60-80 FPS?

2600 + rx580 = 60+fps @1080p/60hz on most games at medium to high settings.

2600 as requested. if you have a few dollars more ($510 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6gKrTB) the 512GB drive would be my suggestion but sticking to budget cuts the drive. do not hobble the ryzen with a single channel of memory.

Sub 500 is killer, I'm for sure going to look into the 1600 vs 2600.
