What is a good budget build?

[Firebolt14]

I am trying to find a way to make a sub 500 dollar pc that has good enough power to play things like civ 6, battlefield 1, gta 5, and overwatch but the price keeps on pilling up. So far i have made this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6YxmKZ and obvisouly this is way over my price range.

sub $500 is not going to get you a worthwhile build IMO. You could do it for under $600 though

I want you to keep in mind that Ryzen 5 and 3 are coming out soon and could give you the performance and the price that you need

You need to either increase your budget or lower your expectations. $500 is incredibly tight

Just use the free version of Windows 10 until you can afford a licence

If you were to get rid of the budget how could I get 60 fps on 1080p ultra settings on civ 6, and how good of a cpu do you need to run a cpu intensive game like civ 6.
