Hi Guys,
Background : Got a legacy PC. Most of the parts are outdated.
Approximate Purchase Date: December 2020
Budget Range: US$ 400-600
System Usage from Most to Least Important: playing game (mediocre games) or android games using emulator.
Important note : will let the PC turn on 24/7 for grinding in game
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, case
Need to revisit : Power Supply & HDD
Parts Preferences: by brand or type : no preferences, anything decent is okay.
Overclocking: No
Usage : mainly for playing pixelated game like Growtopia. https://www.growtopiagame.com I usually play alone and probably will let the PC on for 24/7 for grinding purpose & at the same time would play 8-10 instances of the game.
Aside from that, I'm just gonna use this PC to play android games using NoxPlayer https://www.bignox.com/ and play 5 instances of MMORPG (e.g. Ragnarok mobile) game at same time
So far what I've researched for the components :
CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Video Card : VGA Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 550 4GB - RX 550 4 GB DDR5 or VGA Nvidia ZOTAC GeForce® GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 HDMI/VGA Low Profile
RAM : Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX PC21000 8GB (2X4GB)
Motherboard : Motherboard Asrock B450 PRO4 or Motherboard MSI B450M Pro VDH MAX
The questions :
This is my first time building a PC. Any recommendations / suggestions is welcome.

The questions :
- Will my build suitable for my needs ?
- Considering I'd let it on 24/7, do i need liquid cooling or could I just use fan ? My existing case have two fans.
- Considering my budget, should I buy SSD or can I just use my existing SATA HDD ?
- I'm still don't know which video card & motherboard I should buy. But I'm leaning toward VGA Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 550 4GB - RX 550 4 GB DDR5 (because it's 4GB) and Motherboard Asrock B450 PRO4 (more slots, but not that i'm gonna use it all)
This is my first time building a PC. Any recommendations / suggestions is welcome.
