Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Joel, which system is using, Windows 10 or 11, has Windows updated to the latest version and also has the drivers of your video card updated, in addition to this warning it shows some error in number format, if you can of the more details.

video memory is different to system memory availability, the apu has access to system memory and can only use 1GB of it for vram. basically thats it 1GB graphics is not going to allow you to play much at all.

Would you have any suggestions on what kind I should get for around five hundred dollars that has decent graphics and could maybe be upgraded in the future? Keep in mind don't really play a lot of games it's just when I come across something that interest me I like trying to see if I can do it. starting to turn into an expensive hobby. Thanks for replying to my question. You have saved me a lot of time searching.

You're not going to get a decent gaming PC for only $500. That kind of money may seem a lot, but it really isn't in the PC gaming field, a tiny sum in fact. to get a 'decent' PC, you need to start at the $1000 minimum.

My current gaming PC is an i7 8700, 16GB and an RTX 2080, it's high end, but only just about. It beats the Series X and the PS5 though, especially when it comes to Raytracing performance. It probably cost me about £1,500 so far (about $2000 U.S)

As Tezzarrific has already pointed out it's not worth it at the moment. I built my PC pre-pandemic/pre-chip shortage and prices were stable. This should get better in 12 months time, and even better if the price of bitcoin crashes!
