Here is an excellent $600 budget gaming PC for Black Friday and Cyber Monday curated for high frame rate 1080p 60-240fps gaming while also being powerful to tackle on demanding triple A PC games.
This build is centered around the Ryzen 5 5600 which is one of the best performing budget gaming CPUs on the market.

The only kind of motherboard you need to pair with this gaming pc is a standard B550 motherboard in the micro atx variant, since this needs to fit inside a micro atx case. The chosen B550 motherboard also supports pci gen 4.0 on both the express lane and m.2 slot so that is covered for this $600 gaming pc.
All you need is just 16gb of DDR4 RAM for this $600 gaming pc, as 16gb of memory is still plenty for a gaming pc in 2024. That said, the ram speed is 3200mhz with a CAS latency of 16, which is standard for an affordable $600 gaming like this.
A 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD as well will satisfy the storage needs for this pc, although if you need more, then feel free to use any of the recommended 2TB M.2 SSDs from other build guides for this $600 gaming pc build.

Expect this graphics card to run nearly all of your anticipated pc games at 1920x1080p anywhere from 60 to 240fps+ depending on the game. With more features like frame generation (FSR3) and AMD Fluid Motion Frames, you will be able to achieve high fps gaming with this $600 gaming pc.
Moving on, a 550W 80+ Bronze PSU is all you need for the Ryzen 5 5600 and Radeon RX 6650 XT combo for this $600 gaming pc, and the unit chosen from MSI is a reliable yet inexpensive power supply.
Finally, a standard micro ATX pc case is all you need for this kind of pc that comes with at least one included fan, even if it is ARGB.
A 1920x1080 high refresh rate monitor is also recommended for this PC, like the one linked above. Once again, consider building this pc to take advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
