Hi there!

I am building a bang for buck PC for my little brother. Just wanted to ask your opinion, is this OK? Mostly for gaming, like PUBG, Rust, Arma III maybe, CS:GO etc

AMD Ryzen 3 1300X 3.5GHz 8MB BOX YD130XBBAEBOX 124,11 eur
Asus PRIME A320M-K 59,14 eur
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB 2666MHz CL16 DDR4 KIT OF 2 BLS2C8G4D26BFSB 172,57 eur
Modecom Mini Cool Air AM-COOL-AIR-000000-0002 23 eur
NZXT Hale 82 v2 550W NP-1BM-0550A-EU 64,16 eur
Palit GeForce GTX1060 StormX 6GB GDDR5 PCIE NE51060015J9F 298,20 eur
Western Digital Green 240GB M.2 SATAIII WDS240G1G0B 82 eur

Total : 823, 18 eur + AOC G2260VWQ6 monitor 114 eur

The budget is already over the limit, but I think I can live with it.

Is there anything I should replace (in the same price range; like is the mobo OK for future updating)? Do I need some extra coolers or smth?

Thanks a lot!

Okay, wasn't sure which EU country you live in so I assumed Deutschland for PCPartPicker. They also have other EU country websites, if you select the country the build will automatically change the pricing to that specific region.

You can get by with only 8GB of RAM for this rig, this will reduce the cost quite a bit. By changing from an A320 to a B350 mobo you get overclocking capability which you might end up wanting and it is a better chipset overall. Replaced the Modecom case with another better known one. Also replaced the PSU.

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1300X 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor...
1. Get B350 MB instead of A320, you won't regret and has better upgrade path, only a little bit more.
2. faster ram is preferred but 2666 is OK
3. no need for extra cooler, 1300X has a good stock cooler
4. Get a better PSU...
5. Only 240 gb SSD? Add an HDD
What case is it? Need OS? Which country do you live in?
