Hi, I'm a student and I have been saving up for my first gaming pc for about 3 years. I have a budget of 1000 dollars (excluding monitor) and I want to build an AMD based build. I record and edit gameplay videos as well. I am wondering if you guys could give me suggestions of builds. Since I'm not living in the US, I want all the parts to be available on AMAZON. Thanks for helping me (sorry if there were any bad english)

This is what I have, but I must say a few things...

Anything in the list below without a price on it is currently out of stock on amazon, so use the given link to see if it is in stock or not. Secondly, I couldn’t find a good graphics card on amazon, so you’ll either have to make an exception on the store you’re buy it from or not have a system (because the Ryzen series needs a dedicated gpu). The system assuming I posted a complete setup without peripherals would be around your budget.

Two problems with this build. Firstly the ryzen 1600 already comes with a stock cooler that will suffice for all but extreme overclocking (30 dollar cooler probably will not make any difference), and ryzen cpus perform best with high speed ram (ideally 3200 mhz)

The first part is true, good catch. The second part, well, sure they perform best, so if the submitter wants to spend the extra 20-30 bucks on a faster speed, go ahead. I just figured since prices were high a bit I’d hold it back, but, his/her choice.
