That Cpu is very Weak depending on games you're playing. I would try to go for i5 at least, maybe shed the extra 500 gb HD scrap up extra 25 dollars. Gpu is alright also 1050 ti would be better. Guess not much you can do with 500 budget

Solution


For a 500$ gaming pc a HDD is just fine.
As for a higher end cpus, every Ryzen 5 will outperform their i5 counterparts.
