Looking to spend less than $500 for programming

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

• Web development(mainly the wordpress site in chrome or in visual studio code), Microsoft SQL server, Visual studio, GIMP, etc. Will also want to be open to other coding languages programs. I might play some light gaming like CS:GO but I have an xbox one so programming is very important. I basically want this rig to work for whatever programming needs I might have.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

• Preferably under $500 USD after tax.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

• ASAP, faster shipping is a bonus.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

• Tower

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

• Missouri, USA. No Microcenter.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

• Keyboard, mouse, monitor, OS.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

• Probably not.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

• SSD and RAM are pretty important for running IDEs and lots of chrome tabs at the same time.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

• A smaller form factor would be nice but saving money is more important.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

• No

Extra info or particulars:

• I have a dog and cat that shed a lot so a good airflow system might be good to prevent accumulation in there. I'm also open to preowned parts if bought from a reputable source(I do not trust my local craigslist at all so I'm avoiding that).

• I'm open to a prebuilt if there is a good deal. I'm not worried at all about upgradability because I will have a much larger budget in the Fall when I start a "real" job.

• I also am currently using a lenovo yoga 720 w/ an i5 8th gen, 8gb of ram, intel hd graphics. I am getting this desktop to avoid the hassle of hooking my laptop up and would prefer if this build is a lot stronger than my laptop to help justify this.
