Hey everyone! I'm planning to build my first PC and I'm hoping to stay within a budget of around $600, but I can stretch it to $650 if necessary. I really want to be able to play FPS games like CS2, Valorant, and Fortnite at a solid frame rate. Do you have any suggestions for parts or builds that would fit my needs? Thanks in advance!

It might be a bit different, but have you thought about getting a mini PC like a NUC? They’re pretty compact and you can find some decent AMD models with good integrated graphics that fall around your budget. Check out the Minisforum machines on Amazon.
I'd recommend going with a Ryzen 5 7500F and an RX 6600, paired with 16GB of DDR5 RAM. That setup should get you pretty good performance on those games!
Honestly, those games can run pretty well even on integrated graphics with the settings cranked up. You might be just fine without needing super high-end parts.
Consider visiting PCPartPicker—it’s an excellent resource for checking compatibility issues between parts. It’s not foolproof, but it's a good starting point to avoid any major headaches with your build.
I totally agree! That's actually very similar to what I just built myself.
