I want some suggestion for a gaming pc parts under 500$. I don't want the monitor nor any extra accessories added to the 500$ Budget. Only the specs for a gaming pc. I hesitate between a AMD processor and an Intel one... I don't know the compatibility between GPU's , Motherboards and CPU's. I want a list for the specs please.

CPU:

the OP's question depends on a few factors.

Do you want to overclock?
