Hi, I am selling my dirt bike for around $800-900. I need about 175 more for my PC because I have someone build it (don't wanna mess anything up). The total for my PC is about $700, + the $175 which is $875. I already bought the 1050Ti. I would just like to say I can't go any more than that. And I would also like to know any recommendations or changes I should make to my build.

Here is my build:

Thank you and I appreciate your help.

I assume you already have an HDD? Just 250GB for the whole system is extremely small... you fill it up very soon and end up having to get another storage device.

Your build is fine, i'd just suggest you changing a few pieces i inserted here:

It's, overall, a better machine. It is, indeed, a bit slower in gaming due the higher clock of the 8350K, nevertheless the 8400 is a better all around CPU(still very decent for gaming) compared to the i3.

Got better RAMs, SSD and PSU(that one you chose is very poor quality)

^ what they said. I was going to comment as well that if 16 gigs is too expensive get 8 gigs of 2 x 4 GB RAM sticks for dual channel performance. Single really won't benefit too much.

Also, for the budget of the system ($800), charging $175 just to build, and that too on a build where the building fee is nearly 1/4th of the PC on its own, is just ludicrous.

I may be naive, but I seriously think that $175 would be better spent in better components like a 1060 6GB instead of paying someone to build it. Follow the multitude of PC building guides present on youtube/tomshardware/other sources and you will be fine.
