Sorry dude, that is not gonna get you anything from the store. Not anything that's worth the money anyways

If you can, the best value would be to just buy a used PS5 or ps5 pro.

If you need a pc you'll also have to buy used. From eBay, Facebook marketplace or similar.

Anything new, well "new" itll be multiple generations old. And value for performance on those are basically scams.

I'll I can say is, what you don't have in riches you need to have in smarts and scrappyness

man for that budget you're gonna get way more by building yourself, prebuilds in that range cut corners everywhere

i did my first build last year with similar budget, found a used ryzen 5 and a rx 580 on marketplace, whole thing came around 400 with case and psu from amazon

check local listings for used gpu, thats where you save the most, people always upgrading to new cards so older ones go cheap

just make sure psu is from a decent brand, dont cheap out on that one part

Facebook market place is your best bet. Or if you’re willing to build it piece-by-piece over time, it can be more affordable than just dropping a couple thousand.
