Prebuilt Gaming PC Under $600

[snowiblind]

If anyone can list one for me, that would be great
I'm posting this for a friend, I would just build it fot him, but his parents won't let him. I can't build it for him and his parents are afraid he/me/someone will ♥♥♥♥ up while building it and would rather buy a prebuilt. He's buying something from this order- AMD FX 4300, RX 460

While I'm here, can someone tell me what they think about my sub-$200 pc?
(MY) Specs:
Pentium G4400
Cheapest LGA 1151 Mobo I can find (probably MSI or Gigabyte)
GTX 650/660
4GB DDR4 @2133 mhz

1. You won't find a prebuilt that cheap. Show the friend's mom videos on how easy and comparatively cheaper it is to build

2. Great budget system, but you should upgrade to a newer GPU eventually.

1. Don't use wi-fi for desktops as that will cause issues compared to normal ethernet as wi-fi is meant for tablets or laptops.

2. It's hard enough to build a gaming computer for that price yet alone a overpriced under powered prebuilt.

3. Use sites like http://pcpartpicker.com/ to get an idea.

Get a new gpu not a 5 year old one. Something like a RX 460.

Yikes. Better to build than buy a prebuilt pc with a ♥♥♥♥ tier graphics card and upgrade lul

1. I completly agree with you, my friend found a prebuilt with a RX 460 and a AMD FX series CPU in it for $560. Pretty sure he isn't proud of it, but it's his only choice rn.
2. Thanks, but not really wanting to play demanding games like GTA V, but rather playing games like Sleeping Dogs and BFBC2 at 768p, at moderate settings

I give no ♥♥♥♥♥ about low settings or 720p or 30 fps
I've been playing on this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing they call a "laptop" for a few years, where I can't run GTA 4 for ♥♥♥♥ on 640p, can barely run CS:GO, and am happy that I can run Half-Life 2 maxed out, 70 fps.
I'm not even playing demanding games, nor will I be requesting maxed out settings, or a crazy 4k resolution. I care if my games are playable on moderate settings
That's what this pc will accomplish for a fairly low price, and an rx460 costs $40-$50 more

You can spend $100 now or $50 now and another $50 not a year later because your aging GPU died. And the RX 460 is not going to max out games... ITs not going to play at 4k... It just plays modern games playable a 1080p... Its a low/mid-end GPU.

You are reacting as if I told you to buy a $4000 NVIDIA Tesla K40M. The 460 is the lowest you can go with a modern GPU.

Well...
I'm on the budget side of things, and the 660 isn't as bad as you might think. Either way, CS:GO is probably the only game I'm going to play lol

Yes the 660 is all you will need when playing a bit of CSGO every now and then. But its still aging tech. If you do get a 660 or a other used GPU take it apart, clean it and reaply thermalpaste just do a bit of maintenance it will prolong the life of the card a little bit, because otherwise it might overheat and well.. die.

Depends on what cooler is on it. You might gain a few FPS by overclocking. But its not worth it I think. But its always fun to just do it and see how far you can push it.

I'm building my PC by myself, my friend's parents won't allow him/me/anyone to build the PC, so he has to resort to buying a prebuilt

Let me list the problems with FX:
-Slow, 5-year old architecture
-DDR3 RAM
-No support for M.2, NVME, Thunderbolt, etc
-No upgrade path
