Building the PC yourself would not be a bad option.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Yxf8V6 it's not as difficult as you may think. The list I provided in the link gives you much higher quality parts than you would find in any prebuilt for a similar price. And would be significantly faster because of the SSD.
However if you insist on a prebuilt something like this would probably meet your needs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CYF9YGF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jlHQCbRM4Z0VM
Amazon prebuilts with good cpu (for desktop stuff) , good ram (hell, I have 4gb and it allows me to open a lot of tabs, they will love the ammount of stuff they can have open at a time), and enough HDD. Wifi too. Windows installed. 370 dollars

Monitor, 1080p 60hz (those sweet 1080p 60 fps YT videos). 80 dollars

Overall 450 dollars.
your requirements are very low these days. if you build your pc yourself you can save money because some prebuilts will be far more powerful than you need in some areas and lacking in others. you might save a lot of money on a prebuilt that has a for example decent processor and memory but end up with some not-so-good components like PSU, case, motherboard, cooling and upgradability. down the line you might regret not building your own
here's a parts list that will exceed your requirements by about 30%:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2hvmBbEDIT: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JPPdfH - edit info at the bottom of this postyou can get 80fps in borderlands 2 with a gt 1030 so if you want to cut about 30-40 bucks off this list don't hesitate to go with a GT 1030 GDDR5 video card (NOT DDR4)
you could find a 366USD prebuilt acer with an i3-8100 and similar specs in it (how do they even make profit), but the case it comes with has such bad cooling that i would never recommend putting a graphics card above 65 watts in it. plus, it'll be an absolute pain to work with when removing/adding components and its PSU wattage is a little low. not sure about PSU brand quality so that's another unsure thing. lastly the motherboard BIOS will limit you if you ever want to tinker with things in the future. it also comes with no SSD: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-TC-885-ACCFLi3-Desktop-i3-8100-802-11ac/dp/B07CYF9YGF
this is probably a similar situation: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-Business-Quad-Core-Bluetooth/dp/B07GVJK6FH
remember, these have no video cards
here's one with great specs though for a price lower than my parts list: https://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-580-023w-i5-7400-Graphics/dp/B077S27YLP
again i'll be wondering if the cooling on this thing will throttle the gpu a bit. note this has no ssd

EDIT: changed B360 to H370, adds more PCIe lanes and more than one system fan header. if you go with the B360 you'll need to buy a PWM fan splitter cable: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pQPzK8/silverstone-technology-all-black-sleeved-1-to-2-sleeved-pwm-fan-splitter-cable-cpf01
