You can build an Intel i3-6100 system with no video card for a little under $500. That will give you more performance then AMD. The iGPU is good enough for general use.

Or build a complete one like Ken g6 just posted in the very first sticky thread in this sub-forum located here:

Just tweak it to your needs by excluding the hard drive since you are using your SSD, and the video card if not needed.
