My PC right now is really bad (Core 2 Duo e8500 3.16Ghz + GT220). I'm looking for a new one and I want it to be good. I'm looking for 60fps at medium/high settings on 1080p. I looked into what is available in my country and build this PC on pcpartpicker. Can anyone tell me what changes do i need to make or if is it a good build? Thanks. Here are the parts:

As for wattage, you have enough. I have an RX480 8GB with a 430w PSU. As for quality I do not know, if you can find a seasonic/xfx psu for the same price I'd get that.

I'd swap RX470 to an RX480 or GTX1060 if its still in you're budget, if not doesn't matter because it's only a marginal increase. I'd also swap the single 8GB ram stick to 2x4GB ram sticks.

Anything above RX470 is not in my budget, and I'm going for a single 8GB so i can upgrade my RAM in the future to 16GB, because this motherboard has 2 DIMM slots. Another question: Is this PSU good enough for this system and is the 500w enough?

Thanks for the help! One more question: Will this motherboard need a BIOS update for the G4560 cpu?

I do not know, probably need to make a new thread asking. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KWjWGX/asrock-b250m-hdv-micro-atx-lga1151-motherboard-b250m-hdv is only $7 more which would be ok form the get go.
