You have $500 to assemble a PC with the tools and games you mentioned. Start with a mid-range build: a solid CPU, decent GPU for gaming, and an SSD for speed. Add a good RAM bundle and enough storage for your projects. For software, install Photoshop, CAD, web design tools, programming environments, and game engines. Ensure you have enough space for downloads and updates. This setup should support GTA V, PUBG, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Shadow, Minecraft with Shadows textures, and other AAA titles.

Absolutely, based on what you said, it seems you shouldn't really proceed. It would be wise to conserve a bit more.

500 offers a solid setup with options like a B450 or X470 motherboard, mid-range X570, 16GB RAM, around 500GB SSD or M.2 drive, and a typical power supply. It’s not just about the specs alone—considering case, graphics card, and monitor adds up. Unless you opt for budget parts or a prebuilt unit, you’ll need a bit more to cover everything.

1600AF isn't in stock at the moment, rx570+-rx480 isn't a big concern. Because of the Chinese New Year, delivery through aliexpress will be postponed as well.

Intel is too costly, it's hard to find a 6c/12t CPU from Intel at that price.

Over the past couple of years, AMD has introduced much better CPUs now. It would be unrealistic for anyone to build an Intel system these days. They offer top mid-range and high-end CPUs, plus solid options in the premium range. The AMD RX570 GPU is a decent choice for its value. Likely the best you can find within your budget, unless you opt for used models. A similar setup would be recommended. For storage, consider a well-known SSD brand such as Crucial, Samsung, or Corsair—choice depends on personal preference.
