My pc just exploded (literally), and I’m trying to build a budget rig that I can upgrade later (more RAM, better CPU, etc.) Will this list be a good budget choice if I’m going to upgrade later?

Case:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353151&ignorebbr=1

Motherboard:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145056&ignorebbr=1

CPU:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113481&ignorebbr=1

PSU (I already have one of these):

GPU (I also have one of these):
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500398

RAM:

Thermal Compound:

And Windows 10 Home.

Thermal paste comes pre-applied on the stock cooler you'll be getting when you unbox the Ryzen 3 2200G. Can you please pass on where you're located and how much you intend to spend on your parts purchase?

Consider this revision on parts to be your platform for future upgrades:

2200G, B350, 2x4GB DDR4 2400, an EVGA 500BR and a GTX1080??????

Well, no... not particularly "budget", nor particularly well balanced either..


the 2400MHz RAM will likely hold back CPU performance, the B350 will probably need a BIOS update to support a 2200G, and the PSU is a little too "budget" for me, to be comfortable running a 1080 from it.

The PSU is 'fine', and is a heck of a margin better than a lot of the budget units out there..... but it's not really intended for higher end systems.

Barty,
That's what I thought, why pair a GTX1080Ti with a Ryzen 3 2200G, it just doesn't add up. The PSU is also lack luster but it seems OP wants to blow up the system a second time.
