Hey Guys,

I wanted to ask the tech community for some pro advice when building a PC. I would like a list of decent, low priced Gaming PC components. I play games like Minecraft, Goat-Simulator, Garry's Mod, Call Of Duty and War Thunder and do lots of Photoshopping and Cinema 4D Rendering. I would a computer under $600 that could do this the fastest. I would also need Windows with this. Also, what would you need most in a computer to perform these tasks; CPU, GPU or RAM? I was just wondering because I could put a little more money into one or the other.

Thanks! Ben

This whole budget in general is missing about $400 for a good gaming/rendering PC. The fact that you need an OS leaves you with a $500 build. If you're extremely serious about photoshop/rendering then Intel would be the way to go with more powerful cores and hyper threading but using that logic an i5 takes 50% of the remaining money and it goes on and on like this.

Honestly you're not gonna get far with this budget. The best you might do is a FX-6300 and maybe a 270x if you're willing to push your budget and this would be a mediocre build if you plan to do "lots" of photoshop/rendering it'll do fine gaming wise though.
