Anyone have a current best bang for under $600?
Have a friend that specifically wants AMD and I have not been following close enough to do a quick build

Getting a good pc for $600 is hard today due to memory and video card prices. Best I can come up with. Pirate Windows 10 to cut costs.

You should consider the new AMD Ryzen 2400G. It's an APU. While the graphics isn't at RX560/1050 level, it's certainly acceptable and a good starting point. A fancier graphics card could be used later. It will basically give you a 4/8 CPU with GT1030 level gaming for $169 (processor).
Yes the new Ryzen 3 and 5 are good choices, and sometime in April the 2nd generation ryzen chips will be out.
So you can get a better deal on 1st gen or pick up the newest chip if you want.
