Good Gaming PCs Under $500
Five good gaming PCs under $500 with integrated graphics, from Radeon 680M to Radeon 780M, each with its CPU, graphics, memory and storage named.
By Alex Morgan, PC Hardware Editor
12 min read5 products evaluated
No listing we found under $500 pairs a tower with a separate graphics card and names every part, so every pick here is a mini PC that games on Radeon integrated graphics. A good one here pairs a recent Ryzen chip with dual-channel memory, which integrated graphics depend on.
We compared the parts each listing names: CPU, graphics card and VRAM, memory, storage and, where stated, the power supply and warranty. We did not test these systems, and we skipped listings that leave a core part vague.

Our Picks
Most Memory1 of 5
BOSGAME P6 Neo (Ryzen 7 6800H, Radeon 680M)
Inside the BOSGAME P6 Neo are a Ryzen 7 6800H and Radeon 680M integrated graphics, backed by 24GB of LPDDR5X and 512GB of SSD storage.
Best for
- Gaming alongside streaming, browsers or editing.
Skip if
- Choose another pick if you can't accept this: a 512GB SSD fills quickly with modern games.
Why we like it
There is no separate graphics card, so plan on lighter games and esports titles at modest settings. Its 24GB memory is the most here; the Trycoo 512GB comes next at 16GB. On SSD capacity it ties with the Trycoo 512GB and the BRE BREN7P at 512GB.
It shares a radeon 680M (integrated) graphics card with the Glorlin 6800H; the Trycoo 512GB goes with a radeon 760M (integrated) graphics card. It shares a ryzen 7 6800H processor with the Glorlin 6800H; the BRE BREN7P goes with a ryzen 7 7840HS processor. You get an LPDDR5X memory type here, which sets it apart from the Trycoo 1TB and its a DDR5-5600 memory type.
Check the BOSGAME P6 Neo's ports against your monitor: most graphics cards use DisplayPort and HDMI, so match the cable to the refresh rate you want. When we checked, only the Glorlin 6800H and cheaper picks cost less, and the Trycoo 1TB cost more.

How We Chose
Alex Morgan compared the manufacturer specifications, connectivity, warranty terms and compatibility of every pick. Figures come from the makers unless a third-party source is named; we did not test these products ourselves.
- What we compared
- We set side by side five prebuilt PCs on graphics card, processor, memory and memory type as the makers state them. Nothing was tested in-house; 5 of the 5 fields compared are stated for every pick.
- The shared baseline
- All 5, from the BOSGAME P6 Neo to the Trycoo 1TB, state graphics card, processor and memory.
- Who each pick suits
- The BOSGAME P6 Neo for 24GB of RAM; the Trycoo 512GB for the lowest price among these picks at the time of writing; the BRE BREN7P for a Ryzen 7 7840HS processor.
- Price range
- From the Trycoo 512GB to the Trycoo 1TB, all sat in the $250 to $500 tier when we checked.
What to Look For
Key buying criteria so you get the right fit the first time.
Memory across these picks
Across these 5 picks memory spans 16GB (the Trycoo 1TB) to 24GB (the BOSGAME P6 Neo). If memory is your first filter, the BOSGAME P6 Neo sets the ceiling at 24GB.
SSD capacity
Here SSD capacity runs from 512GB on the BRE BREN7P to 1TB on the Glorlin 6800H, a 95% spread. Start with the Glorlin 6800H if SSD capacity decides it.
A desktop PC beside a monitor on a corner gaming desk Processor
