Processor:Ryzen 3 1300X ~ bough for 145$
Video card:Gigabyte nVidia GF GTX1060 G1 Gaming 6G ~ bough for 420$
RAM:KINGSTON DIMM DDR4 8GB 2400MHz KVR24N17S8 ~ bought for 110 $
Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 412R ~ bought for 30$
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350E ~ bought for 100$
HDD ~ HDD SATA3 2.5" 5400 500GB Seagate Barracuda Guardian ST500LM030, 128MB ~ bought for ~ 60 $
600W LCPOWER LC600H-12 ~ bought for 43$


Now all I need is a case.Can anyone advice me on picking a good size for a case since it's my first time building a PC.And can anyone tell me if this HDD can go along with this motherboard.
But the case must be under 60$ since that is the maximum of my budget.

Sadly, you bought one of the worst PSUs out there.
specs: http://www.lc-power.com/en/product/netzteile/standard/lc600h-12-v231/

600W peak is the dead giveaway of the crap unit. What peak power means is the maximum wattage output their best unit managed to produce for 1ms before blowing up. In reality, you'd be looking 350W to 400W at most from that firecracker. Avoid all LC Power PSUs at all costs if you care about your PC.

For far better build quality PSU, anything from Seasonic will do great, e.g M12II-520 EVO which is also fully modular,
pcpp: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TgW9TW/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii520bronze

Also, your PC doesn't need 600W range PSU. GTX 1060 is 120W GPU, add the rest of the PC to it at about 200W and max is 320W. 500W range PSU is more than enough, even when you OC your CPU/GPU.
Btw, my Haswell build is also powered by M12II EVO series PSU but mine is 850W (full specs with pics in my sig).


As far as case goes, that is completely a personal choice. But since you also bought CPU aftermarket cooler, which was totally unnecessary in your small budget (CPU already comes with a decent CPU cooler), you need a case that can hold 160mm tall Hyper 412.

Without knowing your taste (color theme, fancy, plain, windowed, solid panel, TG panel, cube, tower etc) it's very hard to suggest one. Unless you narrow the selection down, pick any you like,
pcpp: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#X=0,6093&p=0&s=1&u=1&f=7&sort=-price&page=1

Btw, HDD works just fine with your MoBo since both have SATA3 ports. But the 5400RPM spin speed on your HDD makes OS boot up and all game loading times very long. Just so you know.

I changed the build.
The processor and video card are the same i just changed ram to 8 Gb DDR4 3000Mhz .I didnt literally buy the stuff I just wrote for how much I fou d them on the internet.I found out i already have a 1tb hdd home so i took that money to get a kingston 120GB ssd so I can install windows and games on it.It should do the work for now.

Well, you stated that you've "bought" all the listed components while still missing the PC case.

As far as 3000 Mhz RAM goes, do note that Ryzen CPUs are picky about RAM and it can be a hassle to get your 3000 Mhz RAM running at 2933 Mhz.

Hi,sorry for such a late answer.Here is the final build with a small comprmise I have,
-Amd ryzen ~ 152.880$
-GTX 1060 Gigabyte windforce2 445.973$
-2x4GB 3000MHz ADATA XPG Z1 CL16 ~ 140.664$ (RAM price atm is soo horrible...)
-ASUS B350M-E AMD4 ~ 101.499$
-MS INDUSTRIAL DARK SHADOW ~ 51.635$(I'm from Serbia,and this case can only be found here but its not a bad one it had 4 fans)
That is 892 dollars.I have 965$ max.Means I have left 73 $.I have a 1TB Western Digital 64 Mb Cache with 7200Rpm.So what do I do?Do I stay with this HDD only,and get a better power supply?Or do I find a motherboard with a lower price and get an ssd with a cheap power supply?

So it will be possible to move my Windows 10 to an SSD?If so then I will get a good PSU.Also I don't understand what do you mean when you said that AMD CPUs are picky and that it will be hard to run it on 2933 MHz.This is my first PC build i've never over clocked anything...Do I need to kind of do the same thing to RAM to make it running on 2933 MHz?

Many SSDs that you buy come with cloning software that you can use to move your OS partition over from HDD to SSD. My Kingston SSD in my Skylake build came with cloning software and so did the Samsung SSD in my Haswell build. Cloning itself doesn't take a lot of time. For me, moving 500GB OS partition from WD10EZEX to 850 Evo took about 20 mins.

Not all AMD CPUs are picky about RAM but the latest Ryzen CPUs are. Ryzen CPUs were released too early and they had major issues running any RAM faster than 2666 Mhz (max native speed for Ryzen CPUs). Since then, there have been firmware releases to make Ryzen CPUs compatible with faster RAM but that doesn't apply to all RAMs out there. Even at today, there are RAM kits out there that can't run faster than 2666 Mhz when using Ryzen CPU.

Running RAM faster than the JEDEC default of 2133/2400/2666 Mhz on Ryzen build is considered as RAM OC. Though RAM OC is easy since most RAMs come with XMP profiles built-in and you only need to enable the RAM OC profile from BIOS to get the RAM running at the right speeds, timings and voltage.
Here's one short video that shows CPU and RAM OC from BIOS with Ryzen chip,
youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMv9ChrLayM

The issue with RAM starts when you select XMP profile and your RAM doesn't work at the speed set in XMP profile. In this case, the tedious manual RAM OC begins where you need to try out different voltage and timing settings for RAM at that speed. If CPU doesn't want to keep the RAM speed at 2933 Mhz at all, then you need to use 2666 Mhz speed since that's the highest RAM speed supported by default for Ryzen CPUs.
