I am currently looking to make my first PC for gaming while not spending to much. Here is what i have so far.

Intel Pentium Gold g5400
MSI h310m Pro-vd Motherboard
Team t-force Vulcan 8gb (1 stick)
Asus Radeon rx 570 expedition oc 4gb ($120 atm at pccasegear au)

Any recommendations to fix my build? And what psu do you recommend for the gpu's 8pin connection?
also live in Australia some everything is a bit more expensive compared to the US.
Thanks.

What kind of budget are you working with here?

For a gaming setup, a stronger CPU (i3-8100, maybe?) and dual channel memory (2x4GB rather than 1x8GB) can be benficial.

An RX570 for $120 AUD is a great deal!

As for a PSU, it depends on the budget. In Aus, the CX450 from Corsair appears to be the "best" unit available for a reasonable price - and should be more than sufficient for most single GPU systems in 2018.
