I've recently wanted to build a custom pc with a budget of $600. I need it to be able to run Autodesk products and be able to play most new games on any quality setting (Like as long as it can still run the game smoothly). I would also need it to be customizable for future projects. The case needs to be aesthetically pleasing aswell. Any suggestions will be amazing, thanks!

Few words.

There's nothing high-end about this build but it can run today's games on high/ultra settings @ 1080p with 60+ FPS. Also, there's plenty of upgrade paths for this build.

Shoot. What i was talking about was the MSI RX 480 GPU. I didn't realize that i typed that wrong. :D My bad. (That can happen when someone intervenes while typing a reply.)
Though, the link i posted is the correct one and links to the GPU sale page on jet.com.

Edit:
OP might go with the Linux too that costs $0.
