A couple folks in here have already sniped the best prices on Ryzen 5 2600s, RX 570s, and other hardware that would show up in the "best performing build" under $500. Since the prices always seem to be higher when I check, I'll go a different direction.
A family gaming, fortnight playing, living room console-like SFX form factor build!
