CPU - amd Ryzen 3 1200
Ram - Aegis G.skill 2x4gb 8gb 2400mhz
MB - Asrock AB350m Pro4
PSU - EVGA 450BV 80+ bronze
HDD - WDC 1TB
SSD - Team L7 Evo SSD 120gb Sata3
Casing - Deepcool Tesseract

I already have a graphics card (Nvidia gtx 1050 ti OC). I'd definitely go overclock on the ryzen and the GPU

So, am I missing something? looking to know also if the PSU can power my system w/o blowing it up thanks

Hey Tim, welcome to the forums.

I would consider the new intel core i3 from coffe lake(released this week) , Its the clear budget winner for gaming.

However If u want to continue with amd ryzen, I would consider buying 1 250gb ssd (samsung 850 or crucial bx300 or western digital blue ssd) its enough for 5 triple a games some small games and programs, you can also install later 1tb hdd when u gather more money . A 120 gb ssd is quite useless because everything you get will be automaticly installed on it , that would be full without noticing it.

Also get a better powersupply , its important to go for quality to make sure your components last very long( so quality over quantity).

The rest is looking good:)

Yes your build is very good (i guess you have a 500-600 budget). You are not missing anything. One thing though. I would go for a better SSD. WD Green 120GB sells at the same price almost. Go for it seriously. Or Samsung if you have a little bit more money. You PSU is has enough Watts for your build. Although I would go for Seasonic S12II-430 Bronze at the same price. But I don't think it's much of a big deal there. Both PSUs are same tier and both manufacturers are very good at PSUs.

Sadly, the 8th gen is significantly more expensive in my country (Philippines) so definitely I'll go with the Ryzen but thanks for suggesting that

I see. I do have the budget now so I might as well buy a 1tb HDD right. And am planning to get a 120gb SSD coz I'll be installing my OS there and some games that I'll play in a regular basis. I thought you could pretty much choose where to install a program?

Noted on the power supply. Then I'll be going with the seasonic s12 520w then.

btw thanks for answering most of my questions here. These forums are awesome and super helpful. Thanks!
