Build Description
Budget AMD gaming build (with Ryzen 5, AMD RX 6600, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD), and at around $500 (that has room for upgrading, such a faster CPU, more RAM, more storage faster graphics card). Should be able to be amazing for all general usage (school, work, etc) and play latest games on medium-high quality settings at 1080p resolutions with good framerates
