Hello everyone,

So I made my first ever gaming PC build (always used a laptop), where I intend to buy all the pieces in about 2 months, so changes can still be made

My budget is around 500$ and I wanted some tips on how it could possibly be better

Mind you that I don't need to buy another keyboard, HDD, operating system or monitor

Oh, and yes there is a compatibility "issue", so I will be using USB 2.0 really

Thanks

Looks good. USB 3.0/3.1 is backwards compatible. You don't have to look for a motherboard with USB 2.0 ports. If that is a concern of yours.

My only nitpick is the PSU could be better quality.

Edit: Upon further review. You can get a considerably faster Radeon Rx 570 4GB at that price.
