Choosing Prebuilt - Advice needed

[aaizHERE]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to join the PC gaming community and need a prebuilt gaming PC. I live in the UAE, and it's quite challenging to find a budget gaming PC here. My budget is about 1,800 AED, which is approximately 490 USD. I want to play some medium-level games, like Fortnite and Valorant.

I have a few options in mind:

If I had to choose between the two, I'd definitely go with the second option with the 9400f and GTX 1660 Ti. Regarding monitors, I would like to know how much you're willing to spend. Definitely buy a 1080p monitor because this PC won't be able to run more than that.

for the monitor, i was thinking this:

also, i was thinking of this pc instead:

So...two options using the 6700, one using a 7700, and one using a 9400F. If I'm going to be frank, buying a 10 year old processor (2015 was when the 6700 was released) is out of the question for anything. The budget is painful...so why not buy a refurbished business machine and install a semi-ancient GPU? There's always a premium to stuff with the "gaming" label. For instance, and it is slightly out of your budget, this decently new 10700 based system, and a seven year old 590 GPU.

I can't sugar coat this and say any of these systems will be able to do a lot of anything. The budget you are putting forward is one where a console might give you more bang for your unit of currency than a pre-built system...and it'd be hard to even build a modern APU based system assuming that you are willing to build it. That said...buying a piece of technology that's had at least 8 years of usage for the price you're willing to spend really feels like throwing money away. Is there any game that you want that you couldn't play on a console? This might be heretical on a computer forum, but I view the issue as gaming first and computer secondary...because what you're actually seeking is fun and not a computer. As such, maybe it's not worth it to invest in pretty ancient tech.
