Hi everyone! My nephew (11yo) and I are embarking on our first gaming build. He usually plays Overwatch, Fallout, and Minecraft on his Xbox. We went off of the $500 build from The Dark Lord of Tech and would appreciate any advice on our build list. We changed the case, CPU to i5 9th Gen, added another stick of SDRAM, motherboard to H310MA 2.0, PSU from 450W --> 650W, and upped the storage from 480GB to 1TB. We have zero experience and are going off of forum advice & video tutorials.

Any and all help/advice is really, truly appreciated! Thank you!!!


 
What I would reccomend.
Dual channel ram.
Different case since the majority RX 580 video cards don't fit
Buy a B365 board since H310 may need a bios update


Considerations:
I5 9400f is cheaper and performs the same with a gpu.
You can get a 1tb Crucial MX500 for half of the price of the inland 1tb drive

Pc part pciker shows the Powercolor 580 8g is too long to fit in that case, so i had to change the case.
