Planning Your $500 Gaming PC Build Console Killer:
Why would you even consider building a pc before simply purchasing a console? I'm only going to briefly touch on this and it will wholeheartedly be some of personal judgement, but there are plenty of factual reasons. By going with a PC, whether more expensive or similarly priced as a console, is simply a much more versatile machine that you can virtually do anything from gaming, using any software you want, you can learn how to program any software you want, or you could write a crappy college essay on that Shakespeare play you just read. It really isn't hard to build your own pc (basically just plugging a bunch of pieces of hardware together and following some instructions). And once you 've built your PC you can upgrade it in the future or re-use old hardware pieces again in a future build. Trust me, it's way more worth it than purchasing a gaming console -- and if you're simply gaming on console because that's where your buds are, then simply send this article and get them building as well.
Getting Started with Planning a Cheap Under $500 Gaming PC Console Killer
So now you're wondering, so now what? Well, it really comes down to finding the cheapest possible hardware that is compatible, the best value for what you spend and what's easiest to come by. The easiest way, in my opinion, is to simply start with trying to find the hardware that can minimally accomplish our goal of having a capable gaming PC that actually plays games. That is a gaming pc that is capable of very minimally 30+FPS at 1080p on low to medium settings in most of all games on the market. You could do some benchmark research and find that there is still hardware that isn't currently available new, but you could buy used and this is a viable strategy (eBay is a good source of used CPUs, GPUs and other hardware), however, in this case, we are going to be looking at only new hardware.Under $500 Gaming PC Console Killer (that includes a monitor, keyboard & mouse)

One advantage of this is that we save some cash, and when you save for a better graphics card in the future you still have the option of adding one! I double any console is capable of such things? The motherboard being used is a MicroATX GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-Gaming 3, an affordable B350 chipset motherboard that supports the APU in this build. Yes this is a MicroATX sized motherboard, so it is more compact in size, so we will have a case to fit.

And if you need more either add another later or simply choose a larger size. The EVGA - BT 450W 80+ Bronze Certified is nothing too special, but it is a decent budget box that will do the job for cheap and is a reputable PSU. For a pc case, we have to choose a MicroATX compatible case since the motherboard we chose is that size (you could purchase a larger case, but no reason to in my opinion). The case chosen is a Rosewill - SRM-01 MicroATX Mini Tower Case. This is a super compact, very basic pc case that is a mini tower -- taking up only as much space as it needs too.
