Building a New Gaming PC (Help with Parts?)

[kevinzou442]

I am pretty new to building a computer. I researched for some time and have come up with this Ryzen AMD build. Are the parts worth the money? Also, are all the parts compatible? My budget is around $500-$600 for an entry level gaming PC that can run games like PUBG at low to medium setting decently. I also need a new budget monitor that can fit this build. Thank you in advance.

Your build is kind of lop-sided, heavy on the CPU and light on the GPU. Not exactly a good gaming system.

Needing a monitor throws your budget off. I would recommend this.
