This video covers a system I built with a Ryzen 5 5500 and an RTX 3050 8GB for around $500. However, this is not the best value for money, and for the same budget of $500-$600, I also suggest parts that not only perform equal or higher, but are also a much better value for your money.

PCPP Sample List for my personal recommended parts, not exact things you should get, but something you should aim for with a budget of 500-600: pcpartpicker.com/user/toufusoup/saved/NcrGnQ

TL;DW
- Instead of a R5 5500, go R5 3600, 3700X, or even 5600.
- Instead of a B450, unless you are getting a R5 5500 or R7 5700, get a B550/X570.
- Instead of an RTX 3050, get an RTX 2060 Super, RTX 2070 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RX 6600 XT, or RX 7600 (or anything else you can find within your budget).
- Checking manufacturer refurbished listings and your local market can net you deals you may have never known were around!
- Would still strongly recommend a R5 7400F/7500F AM5 system though.

Full disclosure, I enhanced the photo I took of this PC using artificial intelligence for the thumbnail (it cleaned up the background and changed the saturation). The text added and such were still all done by me on Paint(dot)NET, and you can see a little scuffs with me just expanding the bits outwards to meet a 16:9 aspect ratio. The video itself has not been touched by AI and it will stay that way for future videos.
