Hey everyone! I'm looking to build a gaming PC with a budget of around $600. I want to play games like Valorant, Minecraft, GTA, Roblox, and more. Can anyone give me some tips on what parts to get for the best build within that budget?

Check out this quick guide I found that might help: https://youtube.com/shorts/QejkKdcbEm4?si=fsAK_oa8lZNWBWJ2. You could use any leftover cash for that monitor and some accessories!
For about $600, you can build a decent entry-level rig! Think about going for something like an Intel 12th gen setup or an AMD AM4 rig. A good GPU could be something like a GTX 1070 Ti or RX 580. I suggest checking eBay for parts, but keep in mind that sometimes local marketplaces can have better deals.
If you can stretch your budget to around $750-800, you could build something that would match a PS5 without cutting too many corners. Otherwise, stick to used parts for better value while staying around the $600 mark.
Here’s a solid build you might consider:
- **CPU:** Intel Core i3-12100F – $80
- **GPU:** AMD Radeon RX 6600 – $190
- **PSU:** Corsair CX550 80+ Bronze – $55
- **RAM:** 32GB DDR4 (2x16GB, 3200MHz CL16) – $65
- **SSD:** Crucial P3 Plus 1TB – $65
- **Motherboard:** MSI PRO B660M-A DDR4 – $95
- **Case:** Montech X3 Mesh – $60 (it has good airflow)
Also, don’t forget to set aside some money for a wireless keyboard and mouse! If you handle it wisely, you might have some leftover cash for a monitor or accessories!
Honestly, if you're sticking to that budget, you might want to consider looking for a used PC. You can often get better performance for less money that way.
Or, hear me out, a console could be a similar or even cheaper option while giving you good performance too.
Yeah, I find eBay can be pricey compared to local listings, so it's worth checking those out too!
