€500 gaming PC for GTA V in 2026
At €500 you can still play GTA V smoothly in 1080p, but the build must stay balanced. Prioritize a solid GPU, keep 16 GB of RAM, and avoid parts that inflate the price without improving FPS.
Recommended build
CPU: Ryzen 5 5500 or Core i3-12100F. GPU: RX 6600 (or equivalent). RAM: 16 GB (2×8 GB). Storage: NVMe SSD, 500 GB minimum and 1 TB ideal.
This combo handles GTA V at high 1080p settings with strong frame pacing and stays relevant for lighter competitive titles.
Estimated in-game FPS
GTA V: roughly 70–100 FPS at high 1080p. Apex Legends: 90–130 FPS on competitive settings. Phasmophobia: 100+ FPS. Elden Ring: stable 60 FPS (engine cap).
Hogwarts Legacy is heavier: expect 45–60 FPS on medium/high depending on the exact GPU and upscaling options.
Budget alternatives
If you can stretch to €600, prioritize an RX 7600 or RTX 4060 for newer AAA titles. If you must stay at €500, favor a strong used GPU over an oversized CPU.
