This, sadly.Right now jack crap even used gpu are way over priced.... Assuming they were in stock and Xbox Series X or a PS5 would run circles around anything you could build right now under 1k.

It strongly depends on your exact definition of "gaming". If you want to play anything out there and are willing to sacrifice a little IQ, you are looking at $400-500 for the video card alone at the current, inflated pricesI know I'm not going to get a top of the line pc but I have 500-600 dollars that I can use. So does anyone have any builds or suggestions?

I would use it mostly for Minecraft or binding of isaac so nothing to intense. On the account of keyboard and monitor I already have those items.It really depends on the game. Solitaire, Chess and many other games can be played on very budget minded systems.
Also, what must be included in that $500 budget? Do you already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers or headset?

Everytime I go to our local computer show or 'hang-out' in my local Indian stripcenter PC shop, I see all kinds of people getting their impossibilities fulfilled. For a cool $500 cash Gandhi Place will hobble together a very decent gaming rig for the man on the street. Mostly reconditioned or discontinued hardware including used GPU's garnered from undercover cryptominer connections. A GTX 980ti for $75 if you want to splurge. Older generation Motherboards, Mugen 5, CDROM, gray market Win 10 pro, 16GB memory, 2TB 7200 HDD and a new ATX case are the basic build staple for a cash $500 dream. One thing the Indian boys know very well is how to build a PC and live in reality. They do not like AMD too many issues it was said. Warranty: 1-year 'unconditional' and just drive over to the shop 7-days a week and it will get fixed the same day. If you like me working the third shift driving a forklift, it's heaven to know these boys. If you go early the Gandhi staff even provides free coffee and donuts to the hang-outs. It is those kind of people and connections you need to find in your area and town. As Madhu said in his broken English: "We generally do not do business with the rich people. 90% of our business is word to mouth. Besides nobody beats our prices and service and we make NVIDIA and Intel dreams come true for the common folks." The cryptominers just send over another a big load of 1080's and 2080's and Madhu noted that these will sell like hotcakes. Thank you NVIDIA. Life is good.I know I'm not going to get a top of the line...

this, even the 3200g seems to be $190 on amazon & newegg. You can get it used for $150 but than you need a coolerIf those are the types of games you play, a Ryzen APU would probably do the job, but right now even those are hard to find.

From what I know they originally wanted to use the name "Nehru Place" based on the fact that this is one of the largest IT and hardware markets in the world located in the southern part of New Delhi, India. But they decided on the name "Gandhi" named after Mahatma Gandhi a world famous civil rights leader. You are correct my spelling was off, but not knowing languages and barely making it through high school is thus apparent. Sorry.Where is this?
And it's Gandhi fyi...Ghandi has a different pronunciation.
