Hello, so I have never had any experience building PCs and after looking around your website and some YouTube videos I came up with this build. If anyone would be able to help me and say if it is good or if it will even work I would be very much appreciated. I would like to play games like BF1 on 1080p with decent settings throughout 2017.
Case: XION Gaming Series XON-310
Motherboard: Asus H110M-E/M.2 Micro ATX LGA1151
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
GPU: AMD RX 470
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2015)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 2400 C16 2x4GB
EVGA 430W 80PLUS power supply

You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with those specs, you will be ABLE to game, but it doesn't mean that your experience will be anywhere near ideal. If you're looking for a good place to find parts at cheap prices, I recommend pcpartpicker.com

Personally, I would remove the SSD and put the money into the GPU and CPU. Also, if possible, try to go with either an i3, i5, or i7 processor (unless you go AMD) in the K skew with a cooler to allow for some overclocking. If not, the Pentium G4560 is a great budget CPU... but just that. If you're happy with the CPU as is, and you specifically plan on gaming, put the money in the GPU. Personally I would do at least a 1060 for good 1080p gaming. Not that the 470 is bad, it'll work...

Other than that? I'm sure you can find one 8GB stick rather than 2x4's, if you want to upgrade in the future, it would be easier if you did that now.

TLDR: Save money and wait OR get rid of the SSD and shove the money elsewhere.
