Build Advice Building a viable system with a budget of 500 USD

My desktop gave away after almost 15 years. It had a good run.

Now, Im planning to get a good enough PC that its able to play most of the games of the older generation of hardware and less required newer ones.

Games like Skyrim SE (with Mods), Crusader Kings 3, Football Manager, League of Legends, Dark Souls series, GTA V and prior ones from the 2000's era.

What would you guys recommend?

Do you have a Microcenter nearby? If so they have some bundle deals. But 500 is fairly tight.

What pieces do you need to buy other than CPU, motherboard, and RAM?

At 15 years of age, you might well need power supply? Video card? Storage?
