Looking to build my first budget gaming PC. I have exactly $500 to spend on components (excluding peripherals and OS). I mainly play esports titles and some AAA games at 1080p/60fps.

What parts would you recommend? Is AMD or Intel better at this price point? Should I prioritize a better GPU over CPU? Any specific components I should splurge on or save money on?
