Something like this and if you can buy a ssd as well.
If you can try an amd build since if you go with 8th gen you would have to pay a for a z series board which will be over your budget.

It comes with a stock cooler. Can i know why you dnt prefer AMD?

^ comes with a cooler , however I cant think of a single reason to buy an i5 7500 when both coffee lake & ryzen are available

Well i prefer high ipc over core numbers as this pc will be used for mostly rpg games and pcsx2 emulation,so i figured an i3 or i5 will suffice

If u go with ryzen u can overclock the cpu which will be more powerfull than going with the 7th gen

Well a coffee lake i3 is a full quad core now,the 8100 is the equivalent of the i5 7500-i5 7600.

While the cpu is cheap,the boards at the moment arent.
It does however give you the added futureproofing option of changing out to a 6 core i5 or 6c/12 thread i7 in the future.

I am planning to upgrade that eventually i'll go with this coffee lake build,it will be more than enough for my girlfriend thank you guys once more!
