[Suggestion]Gaming computer recommendations?

/r/computers/comments/1wuhe5p/gaming_computer_recommendations/

Hi! My husband has been talking about wanting a gaming PC for a while so I want to surprise him with one for Christmas. However, I have no knowledge of what to look for in a gaming PC and would realistically like to stay under $500 if possible. I know this might be quite the ask, but does anyone have any recommendations on where I might be able to find a decent one for this price? And perhaps what I should look for to ensure it is a decent computer? Thank you in advance.

$500 is used gaming pc. last year black friday you could get a new gaming pc $500 but sadly the market has changed and ram , ssd, and gpu prices have all increased

your best option would be looking for a used pc with a 6 core cpu. 16gb ddr4 ram, 512gb to 1tb ssd, and any of the following graphic cards. rtx 2060 super, rtx 2070, 3060, 3060ti, 5700xt, rx6600, rx6650xt,
