Budget PC build ?

[SirCharlie249]

Hi guys, could I get some opinions on this build, its not final since im currently into some light gaming.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2400g (with integrated graphics wich are currently running, after some will upgrade to a better cpu)
Graphics card: XFX RX 580 8GB GTS XXX (i have a plan on buying it and to have ryzen gpu as a reserve since everything is expensive in my country)
Power supply: Raider II PSU 550W,80+ SILVER
Motherboard: ASRock B450 PRO4 Fatality
RAM: Corsair 1x 8GB DDR4 2400 Value Select
HD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 3

For a Ryzen-based build, you'll benefit substantially from both Dual Channel memory (2x4GB or 2x8GB) AND faster speeds ~3000MHz.

I don't know too much about the RaiderII lineup. Should be sufficient enough for a budget system, but I would expect there are better options out there.

CX550(M) available to you, by chance?

looks fine to me as far as it working goes.
the RAM should be faster and there should be 2 sticks, a matched set. ryzen loves fast memory and dual channel memory is faster than single channel.
the next upgrade would/should be an SSD

Yes Im aware of the RAM situation but since I will be taking a dedicated GPU, 8gb should be enough. Or are you talking about ryzen cpu-s in general that they need dual channel ?

ryzen in general can and will work better with faster RAM. yours is 2400 and 3000 should be the basement for ryzen. 2933 seems to be the sweet spot.
dual channel memory will get another 15-25% in certain workloads and you need two sticks of matched RAM for that.
adding more RAM later is harder than it sounds (finding the right match) and I suggest Replacement with larger units rather than adding to.

You can remove all shackles now. the slow single stick will be shackling your system.
