Hi PC experts,

I am looking to build a gaming/productivity PC. Since I am a noobie at this, I decided to build one with a low budget and then upgrade gradually, cause I don't want to risk losing my money or breaking something. I do Youtubing/Streaming on twitch and I also like to edit. My budget is about 700 dollars (excluding the monitor). I would like to get a recommendation for my first PC build. I would really appreciate it if you guys can give me recommendation for the parts that would be good for budget gaming/productivity PC. Thank you so much and have a good day

I don`t think you should worry about breaking something, if you go slow and take your time, you`ll be fine.

As far as upgrading gradually... I would just reccomend to be committed and get a decent set up right off the bat. It`ll cost a bit more, but it will avoid some DOUBLE SPENDING (either replacing GPU again or adding ram or replacing, that sort of thing).

Here`s a build I put together for you. It`s very well a Mid range Gaming PC with streaming capabilities. I`ve selected the Ryzen 1600 CPU, it`s got 6physical cores to help you out in your editing and it`s pretty good for gaming as well.
