Hey I was looking to build a computer and I have a budget of 490 dollars minus OS. It needs to be able to at least run CSGO at 60 or higher fps, but the faster the better. Thank you in advance!

This should be able to suit your needs. I put an ssd but if you want a hard drive just take it out a throw a seagate barracuda in there. This should run any game. CSGO would be no problem.

Here is my current build, if anyone has one better please inform me! Also this one is a little under budget so a more expensive one would be better.

Hey if I were to use a hard drive would a better processor be worth it?

It's ok but the psu is no good. You don't want to cheap out on the psu, it can make your whole system fail.
Also, CSGO uses only one core, meaning the pentium will perform way better than the fx. This pentium is better than the fx in any game except in those that use more than 2 cores.
