Core i5 8400 CPU B360 Motherboard RX 550 GPU

[wheelshappy23]

I need assistance with my build, as I must admit I don't have enough time to do the research myself
so currently definitely I am going to get

Core i5 8400 CPU
m9i cryorig CPU fan

What I need is:

A cheap ATX case (good airflow though) on Amazon
recommendations and prices on b360 mobos on Amazon
Cheapest 8GB DDr4 RAM to go with that b360 (with a ram case, preferably no heatsinks though, as that makes no sense to me) (on amazon)
Cheapest AMD RX 550 GPU I can get (on amazon)
Cheapest hard drive (on amazon) 5900rpm 7200rpm (probably HDD) 500GB minimum or 1TB if I Could get away with it
Cheapest PSU (now for power supplies, I always get confused on what to do) (on amazon)

I am REALLY budgeting, $520
I am looking to game on this, if that helps. Also I would like the components to be cheap, but not necessarily bad or chintzy. Will this build work?


I am really sorry if I am asking a lot of you guys
and Thank you!
-R

1.RAM corsair vengeance lpx 8gb ddr4 2400mhz.

4. Cheapest case I can get"mofotech reactor b500"

Note - you definitely need a good power supply for this. Like corsair Cx 500 or Coolermaster masterwatt lite 500 80+ bronze.
(don't use any Smps below these)
For drive - go with 120GB SSD available at 20$ off line.
And 500gb or better hdd

Ryzen 2400g comes with a Vega 11 iGPU that is equivalent to RX 550 and GT 1030. You can game on this while a temporary solution you are free to add a better dedicated GPU later on instead of wasting around $100 on a very low end GPU.

Also an SSD is now recommended for speed/reliability compared to an HDD.
I recommend getting another 8gb ram later on.

This is another Intel build with better GPU but using 8100 instead of 8400:

are you sure 450W supply is good enough for the build?
and thank you so much for answering

450w should be mroe than enough for a low TDP such as this system.
