switching from console, building on a budget, need help making sure my parts are worth it.

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Mostly gaming, i have a macbook for all other tasks.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

At least medium-preset settings for most current AAA games. 720p@60 is okay, but if 1080p@30-60 is possible that would be awesome.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

$400 USD

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA.

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I’d like to have a i5-6500 because i know its a good CPU but i don’t think i can fit into the budget. I do plan on upgrading components later down the road when the extra cash is available. So my focus is just building a good platform to work on that can be improved and expanded later on. As long as i can play most games on atlas medium settings with good FPS i’ll be happy until i have the extra cash to upgrade. I also have two external 1TB HDD that i can use for extra storage. if it would be better to put in a SSD now instead of an internal HDD.

Thank you for your help, i miss gaming on a pc and I’m over paying for xbox live.
