HTPC for Casual Gaming in the Living Room

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.

It's gonna be a small build. Mainly for gaming and movie watching in the living room. Living situation changed, moving into live with the in laws temporarily, so trying to put together a PC they can use that I could give to them.

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

Just casual gaming. Doesn't have to be 1080p on high. Looking at a 1030 or something cheap like that. So maybe 720p or 1080p and a min of 30 fps.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

Around $500 to $550. So no more than an Xbox One X

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA - Colorado

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Like I said - Just casual gaming. Overwatch, WoW, ESO. Blizzard and Bethesda titles. Doesn't have to be max settings at 60FPS, It'd be fine at 30 FPS, seeing as it'll be hooked up to a TV. Also, for added challenge, no case in the build seeing as I have an XPC Shuttle that I'm going to be using in place.
