Cheap prebuilt gaming computers?
Without monitor, I will spend $500 max.
I just want to play games like call of duty and battlefield.
Medium settings on a 1080p monitor is what I'm looking for.

No, but COD and Battlefield don't run on Linux.

Buy a used PC. It will get you where you want to go. but the downside is you need to know how to evaluate the combinations of parts.

That's hard to achieve even with a custom built PC. Are you sure that you or any of your friends won't be ready to build a PC?

Any $500 prebuilt will be insufficient for what you are looking for.
