I was thinking of buying a Gigabyte AORUS RX 580 8GB to go along with my Ryzen 3 2200g but I was wondering if my CoolerMaster MWE 550w 80 Plus Bronze PSU would be good enough? The recommended PSU for the 580 was 500w but should I upgrade just to be safe? Or should I just get a GTX 1060 6GB in...

I'd try and save up a bit more money for an i3 7100 instead of a Pentium, but apart from that, it's a pretty decent budget build.

The recommended PSU for a 1080Ti is 650W so I'd go for 700W+

I'd say just get an Asus Prime B250 Plus motherboard instead because it is much cheaper. You don't need a Z type motherboard unless you're going to overclock but that CPU is locked anyway, meaning it can't be overclocked. Then you can afford to buy a PSU, preferably a Corsair CX550.

If you want to keep the DDR3 RAM, I suggest buying an AM3/AM3+ motherboard (if you can still find one these days) and getting an AMD FX-6200. If the 6200 is too expensive, you can always get the AMD FX-6300.

If you get a 1060, you can't go any lower than a Ryzen 3 or an i3 because the CPU would just cause it to bottleneck. So that might be a slight dilemma

I'd say get the Ryzen 3 1200, the G.Skill 8GB RAM, the 1050Ti, and for the Motherboard, get the ASUS Prime B350 Plus for $128. With the Ryzen 3, you can overclock it to 3.9Ghz at 1.25V which will dramatically boost the performance.

Go for the build 2 because it has a better GPU, a better CPU. It also has an 1151 type motherboard which means there is more room for upgrades in the future. Both builds have 16GB memory but go for the DDR4 as it is better and can be upgraded. Build 1 is watercooled which means it will be...

I just got a Gigabyte RX560 4GB. I want to upgrade my CPU but I'm not sure if I should get a Ryzen 3 1200 or a Ryzen 5 1400. Can someone please help?
