Hey guys I just need some help buying a pc. I currently have a hp pavilion p6-2330 which has a fm2 motherboard socket which leaves little room for upgrading to a better cpu. I recently got into a bit of pc gaming(really only play pc exclusives) so i decided to pick up a gtx 1050 2gb to install, after installation my performance has improved slightly but not much. I then did some digging and realized my processor is pretty garbage and with the fm2 socket there is little room for improvement. I have thought about building a pc before but i dont feel like going through the hassle.
Which why im asking for help to find a already built pc which has a decent cpu (i3-i5 or somthing like this) so i can just install the gtx 1050 in the new pc after purchasing. It can be from any brand and im not looking for anything to expensive. If yall have any suggestions i would appreciate it :)

@blankcr8, @lperreault21, Ryzen doesn't have a iGPU so a dedicated card is required.

No better time to learn how to build a PC then right now! You are in the perfect place to learn, people here will basically tell you exactly what to buy and building it is like playing with legos. You will get much better performance for your money with building than buying prebuilt.

Either way, buying pre built or building, we need a budget to help you out here.

At that price you can get some pretty decent parts when you don't need a graphics card.
