Hi there, I want to build a budget gaming pc with the Ryzen 2400G as the CPU. Other things i need would be a motherboard, ram, power supply excluding the gpu, case, Windows 10 OS and a HDD. Do you have any recommendations? I don't plan on overclocking or playing AAA games for now, so recommend me some basic parts that would work well with the Ryzen APU in mind.

-id go with an ssd, not a hdd
-if you can (SOMEHOW) fit 16gb of ram into your budget i would, but if not 8gb of high speed like the gskill kit finstar suggested would be perfect
-you can easily get windows 10 for free by installing an unactivated version and using windows toolkit
-some affordable cases include: fractal focus g, phanteks p400s, corsair carbide 88r, cm masterbox lite 3.1, corsair air 240
-any 80+ power supply should be sufficient, but id suggest you go with something semi or fully modular for the sake of cable management. my recommended brand is evga

Okay so I've asked the local PC shops and here's what they offered:
They do have the EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze and the exact same motherboard @Finstar suggested. What they don't have is the 3200mhz 8gb of ram, they only have the 2666mhz. One of the shops also have Cooler Master's MWE 550 (80+ Bronze) for 5$ less than the EVGA 500W.
For storage I'm thinking of using one of the HDD i have laying around.
So, my questions are;
will buying the 2666mhz of ram be okay?
should i get 2x4gb or an 8gb stick?
Is the Cooler Master better than the EVGA one?

The IGP performs best with faster memory and you want a dual channel kit for best performance, so 2x whatever size and maximum speed you can afford. DDR4 2666 will work with the IGP, but you wont get the maximum performance out of it. lastly, don't buy coolermaster psu's. They're junk.
