Hi guys! I decided I want to build my own PC a few months ago, and I have a $500 budget. I want to know of a good PC setup within my budget than could run Red Orchestra 2 and Warthunder on high or at least medium settings at 60 FPS+. I will probably be getting most of the parts during Black Friday/Cyber Monday so I can get good deals on them. I will also probably upgrade some of the parts with money I will get from Christmas (probably $150) so you might want to keep that in mind. Thanks for all your help!

Edit 1: I should have mentioned I would like 8GB of RAM, 1TB of HDD, and a 2GB graphics card. And I am from USA. Sorry!

Use the extra $160 from Christmas for a OS (If you need it) or a 120/128GB SSD for quick boot times :)
