Can someone make me the best 470 dollar system?

[babyrun12]

I am not good when it comes to technology but I love to game.

My consoles have now started to become a little bit slow so now I am officially switching to the pc master race.

Can someone reccomend me a good 470 dollar sytem without hardrive pheripherals and OS?

Really depends on what you will do with the system besides gaming and choosing between AMD am3+ socket lineup or Intel lga 1150/1151 socket.
470 bucks is cutting pretty close, unless you want to build the system within 2 month span.

With 2 items we just spent 178.00 bucks that will be main guts of your computer.

Now you just purchased those 2 items which will be for gaming or whatever you do plus you have a good psu enough to power on everything.

308.00 plus whatever shipping will be factored in taxes, you barely have enough for a good steel case valued at 70.00.

If your money was probably 70.00 more higher you could intel build for that amount.
Save up your money again in the next 4 months and get a skylake quadcore and better gtx or radeon card.

The RX 480 is solid for 1080p gaming; but the Pentium is gonna hold it down, so within 2-3 years swap that for a locked i5/i7 and you're set. Latest Kabylake Pentium are 2 cores, 4 threads; the same as the i3, just lacking the AVX instruction, which is just meaningless to gaming. Its downside is only slower clock and for US prices, the G4600/G4620 just isn't in an as-good-value proposition as the G4560.

Yes, it's an imbalanced CPU/GPU config, but it'll help you avoid ending up with an outdated CPU and GPU a few years down the line. Which is something you have to consider, the upgradability of the system, for this budget range.

Case is big enough to take all the best budget cooler and nearly any graphic card that exist. + You'd not have to be another guy with the red gaming build.
Seasonic S12II 520W will safely providing the necessary power for anything but the most expensive config i.e. i7k+GTX1080/Titan.

Since the total cost with shipping and before rebate is ~$475 so I didn't include it, but if you want some RAM that looks a bit better and faster, try the Team Dark DDR4 2x4GB 2400 CL14 for ~$9 more.
