Hello, this is the system I am going to build.

|[CPU] [AMD - Ryzen 5 1400 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor]

|[Motherboard] [MSI - B350M GAMING PRO Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard]

|[Memory] [Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory]

|[Storage] [SanDisk - SSD PLUS 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive]

|[Video Card] [Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Windforce OC Video Card]

|[Case] [Thermaltake - Versa H15 MicroATX Mid Tower Case]

|[Power Supply] [EVGA - 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply]

The price for all this is around €638.

Mainly focusing on a great gaming experience. Decent multitasking as well.
Buying all parts from Amazon Italy.

Is the price good for what I am getting, should I change a part?
Please note that I already own the PSU and case.

Definitely not going to play some AAA 128 GB minimum requirement games, I've been playing on 4 gigs forever now, 8 is enough for me, it's hella expensive anyway.

I can't comment on pricing which is what you asked for.
But, on the build list, I have some thoughts:

1. On ram, you want a 2 stick kit so you can operate in faster dual channel mode.
Also, if you will be heavily multitasking, I suggest you buy a 2 x 8gb matched kit up front.
Verify that the ram you pick is supported. Either on the motherboard QVL list or stated as supported on your motherboard by the ram maker. Do not plan on adding ram later, it may not be compatible; ram sticks need to be matched.

2. Love a ssd for your c drive plus some apps. But, 120gb gets filled up quickly.
Also, do not go cheap on the ssd brand. Samsung 850 EVO will perform a bit better and be more reliable. It has a 5 year warranty.

3. 430w is fine for now. But, if you might want a stronger graphics card in the future, make that 500-600w.
A psu will only consume what it needs, regardless of its max capability.
Then, also, That EVGA is only tier 3 quality. Look for tier 2 on a list such as this:

Seasonic is always good. S12II 520w seems to be on sale.

1. Okay, roger that. But I'm still getting 8 GB. I can't afford anything else.

2. I have a 2 TB HDD from my old prebuilt, the SSD is just for essentials such as the operating system. Thanks fo the tip though. I'll see if I can find a Samsung one for the same price, otherwise that's a no go, I'm already exceeding my budget.

3. Will do, but have the PSU already. I was a little stupid when getting into builds and just went on youtube and saw the first "budget PSU" for a budget build, but oh well, you can see where I am at now. From Intel to AMD :D
