$500 PC Build help

[Buy my mixtape fam]

So, I need some help, as I'm at my absolute wit's end with this piece of shit that passes itself off as a "computer".  My dad is great at building computers, just not so much picking parts from scratch, and I'm sure not, so I'd like some help designing a build for myself.

 

Budget: $500

 

What's necessary:

Running GTAv

Running most modern day games

Not being a ball of lag

 

What I'd like:

To be able to run GTAV, and at highest settings possible (my bar isn't very high for the settings, though)

8 GB of ram

 

What I don't need:
Any addons, i.e. mouse, monitor, 

Hard Drive (I have a 250 gb samsung ssd)

 

My dad also has a 960 gtx lying around, although he might use it for himself, so that's questionable. I'm okay with sacrificing certain things like having an ugly case for better performance. Thanks in advance

if you can get his 960 you should be good on medium settings for most modern games.

I get 30 FPS max settings with Radeon r7 250 which is like 4 years old
