I'm building a computer with a Ryzen 3 3200 4 core processor. The computer is going to be used for gaming (Destiny 1, Minecraft, Fortnight, etc.) I don't know how I should decide which card to purchase, but my total budget for the computer is $600
 
Solution
If you have a dedicated GPU then there's no reason to grab a CPU with a iGPU.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 1600 AF (performs close to 2600) $85

Rest of the parts. The motherboard has Wifi/Bluetooth and is a great choice for the price. The NVMe SSD is fast and 500gb is enough for the OS and a few games.
