My sister has always been into gaming, she has always watched me and my brother play games together on our PC's. And she plays games such as Sims 4, Fortnite, Rocket league and many more on her crappy Mac. She decided for her 13th birthday she wanted to build a gaming PC so she could play games with us. Since she know's nothing about building PC's she made me create a build for her. Here is the build so far, tell me what you guys think, and maybe if theirs a different part I should buy instead of one. BTW She doesn't play many AAA titles so that's why I've gone with the RX 570.



Motherboard: B450 Mortar Max
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
Memory: Vengeance 16gb 2666hmz
Storage: Samsung 870 evo ssd
Case: coolermaster masterbox nr400
Graphics Card: Powercolour rx570 red dragon
PSU: Coolermaster MWE bronze 550 watt

The R5 2600 can run at 3200 speeds, easily enough, and I wouldn't go below 3000. How big is that SSD? Games take up a lot of space, so it might be a good idea, with such a low budget, to go with a 240gb ish SSD, for OS, and a 1-2tb 7200rpm drive, for games and file storage.

don't get that RAM, get at least 3200mhz speed RAM as Ryzen CPU's operate better with faster system memory. also why the rx 570 and what is your budget for the GPU? I only ask because it's a bit old and there are better cards out there
Ryzen 5 2600 Can only handle ram speeds up to 2933MHz Im pretty sure, And that GPU because My sister just doesn't play any games that require the anything over RX 580, And My Gpu Budget is around $300 Aud

RX 580, 2TB drive for storage, a much better PSU, SSD, and RAM fitting the CPU. cooling on the VRM and Windows 10.
a few dollars over I grant you , but well worth it in my view.
