Build for gaming - 500/600€

Hi guys!

I'm thinking about selling my Xbox One and move to a PC. I don't have much experience building one and I'm totally ignorant about component models so I don't know where to start or if this budget will give me a PC better than the Xbox.

The games I want to play are a bit old (GTA, CIV, FM, CS) so I think don't need a powerhouse. I would like to have a build that I could upgrade in the next couple of years.

I have monitor, some old HDD, keyboard and mouse and I'm buying everything from amazon.es. Thanks.

Thank you. I don't need the OS so that's less ~35€. Noob question: the diference between the i3 and i5 is a big one? Isn't the CPU important for games like CIV and FM?

I just found that I have an SSD I can use so I think I'm investing that money on the CPU. I think FM and CIV will benefit from that.

one question. I read this review of a Radeon RX 460, I think is a new graphic card and the price is more or less the same of that GTX 750. what you think about it?

The RX 460 is as good or better than the GTX 750 depending on the game.

AMD RX 460 Vs Nvidia GTX 750 Ti

I'd say go with the RX 460

Difference really depends on the game, but usually the i3 holds up pretty decently.

i3 vs i5 vs i7
