Building budget gaming pc

[retardedsausage1]

So I am trying to build myself a new computer, and I have never done it before. I am trying to keep the price at $700 or lower but it is ok if it is a bit over. Anyways, this is the list I have come up with so far, does it seem good? If not, when would you change?

Important point! A single stick of RAM will be single channel, and slower than 2x8 sticks in dual channel.

Depending on your gfx needs, you might consider a more punchy gfx card. Generally the 1050ti is not much more than the 1050 and is 10-15% faster, but also has double the VRAM.

Would also go for 250GB SSD, as half of that 128GB drive will be used pretty much from the start, and depending on the amount of software you install, you might easily hit 128GB.

For gaming, even though it's a budget system, I'd be looking at this personally (assuming trouble-free 1080p gaming):

I'd suggest a better quality power supply. Maybe one from the EVGA supernova series. You could cut your RAM down from 16GB to 8GB to cover the cost.

Solid PSU. Dual Channel RAM at 3000 Mhz, with a 1060 6 GB. Down the road, you can go for an SSD.

Good idea, but there is money spent in the wrong sections with this budget. Instead of 16, 8 will be sufficient for now, also 2400 Mhz is not a good pair for Ryzen.

And if you drop the SSD, which in this budget eats up more than it provides, you can pick up the 1060 6 GB easily, and still have money left over to get a better PSU.

Like I said before, your link is broken.

It takes to OUR list, not the one YOU have created.

You need to click the T button next to markup and copy paste what is there here.

Unless, you are trying to tell him that a PC under $700 is a stupid idea and that an empty list is better than a PC at that budget, in which case, gg.
