I'm 13 years old and really excited to build my first gaming PC! I've got a budget of around $500 and I already have a 750 Watt power supply, so I'm looking for advice on parts that can deliver solid gaming performance without focusing too much on having a fancy case. Any recommendations on what I should buy?

I recently assembled a build for about $510 that might work for you (not including the case since I'm using one from a previous project). Check out this link: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x3b2Dj). Instead of going for an APU setup, I opted for a GPU like the 5500/6500XT with 8GB, which is way better than the integrated graphics from the Radeon 780M. Also, don't forget to grab a simple controller for about $15!
If you're looking to cut costs, consider a cheaper motherboard and get an RX 6600 instead. It runs on PCIe 3.0, but it's still a solid step up from the 6500XT.
