If you can spend some extra cash:

- Added 240GB SSD for Boot & A small handful of games for much faster loading.
- Better RX 580 (8GB instead of 4GB, better cooler, higher factory clock speeds, free games package).

Made some changes, price went very slightly higher but you get a better quality/more reliable PSU (also Fully Modular cables) + Motherboard with much more room to expand including 4 RAM slots vs 2 on the old one. That way you can more cheaply upgrade your RAM to 16GB later on if you wish. Hope this helps! :)

More expensive but worth it.

If you're USA you should grab that 580 8gb from newegg anyway ,$239.99 with e free games is a steal.

Or, Matt's build above is a good Ryzen alternative. Just add the SSD if you can fit this budget but want Ryzen.
