Hello everyone! My current PC is 7-years old and close to death (many sudden freezes and BSODs with warning messages leaning towards MOBO issues, CPU giving off an endless beep sound on reboot after crashing, etc.), so it's a perfect time for me to learn to build one as well. After a few days of research, I came up with a list of components for a build.
Approximate Purchase Date: Ideally before December
Budget: Within USD1500 inclusive of shipping if possible
Purpose: Largely for gaming purposes, may occasionally stream the games I play from time to time. Games range from 2D sidescrollers like Maplestory to recent-ish games like Skyrim, Subnautica and PUBG. Other times, I'd be surfing the web, YouTube, probably nothing too graphic intensive I can foresee.
Location: I'm okay with shipping via Amazon or any other reliable sources if needed. Buying within Singapore is fine too, if I can find them.

Other Details
- ■I hadn't considered getting a monitor as I have one currently, but I'm not sure if they'll be compatible. I'm okay with getting a new monitor if it's necessary. Ideally, it'd be 1920 x 1080 and above.
■Should I consider the Ryzen 5 1600 instead of Ryzen 3 1200 or is that overkill for my needs?
■Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions or comments! I really appreciate them all.
