I am planning to build a Pc with a gtx 1070 and a ryzen 5 1600. I will buy most if not all of my components from https://www.newegg.com/global/ae/?nm_mc=KNC-GoogleaeAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleaeAdwords-_-BrandingExact-_-Newegg-_-Global&gclid=CjwKCAjwmK3OBRBKEiwAOL6t1IuvazwfoTNHvXy68NqqjCyyBKrGsdF9iE0V85L6u9gRgOFKLYmdfRoCsQMQAvD_BwE So i should count 50$ dollars minimum for shipping. I already got a case and I didn’t count it in the budget, and I am considering buying a used hdd and ssd so should I got used? Or is it a bad idea

I'd suggest an upgrade to the PSU. The one you chose is 1st Gen Bronze, not the best, not the worst. 3rd Gen Bronze looks to be shaping up to having some issues too.

If you have chosen your parts and are trying to share that list with us, we cannot see it. If you move your part list to www.pcpartpicker.com/list and provide either the BBCode list or the build's Permalink, we will be able to see it. It isn't hard to select Newegg as the supplier and the other suppliers you are thinking about using. What all do you want to include in this build?

It does put you about $23 over before MiR, but after MiR, you are still in-budget.

If you don't want to spend quite that much, there is always one of these four PSUs as well:

The RAM I think should be OK at 2666, but I haven't checked to make sure, unfortunately, the faster RAM that is proven compatible is more expensive than other RAM of the same speed, but I believe 2666 hasn't had very many compatibility problems.
