Build Advice First Time PC Build

[Shenanigins]

I am looking at building a basic, budget gaming PC. Playing games like Counter Strike, various battle royales, etc. Here is the current build I am looking at. Since this is my first time looking to build I wanted to see if there was any feedback from you all. Anything that could be upgraded for minimal cost increase, is there something I could swap out for a cheaper equivalent, anything not compatible, etc? What is the weak link? Trying to keep this as affordable as possible but don't have a set number that I have to keep it at.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 ($85)
GPU: XFX RX 570 ($120)
RAM: HyperX Fury 8 GB ($37)
MOBO: ASRock B450M Pro4 ($80)
SSD: ASUS SU800 256GB ($41)
CASE: Cougar MX330 Mid Tower Case ($55)
PS: TermalTake Smart 500W 80+ ($48)

TOTAL: $466
Looking to add in a couple of extra fans and Windows 10 should put it roughly $600 give or take.

Any thoughts or feedback are appreciated.

Get a better quality PSU.

Is there a unit you have in mind for around $50 or under. I know that unit doesn't have the highest of 80+ rating but most reviews seemed like it was a pretty quality unit.

I did go ahead and upgrade the RAM to 16 GB with Vengence LPX 2x8

One other quick question. I noticed there is a 4GB version of the RX 570 and an 8 GB version. I originally selected the 4GB version before noticing. The 8 GB is $30 more. Would that make a significant difference?

Why even do that? The OP will buy that and when Microsoft finds out it's stolen or invalid they will invalidate Windows. Just use it free for now until they can afford a legit key which is around $110 for Home.

During installation when it asks for a key there's a option on the bottom of the screen to skip that step, choose that and continue. You lose some customization options but will still receive important updates.

This is the "cheapest" good quality PSU I'd recommend for that build.

4gb vs 8gb of vram is going to depend on the game and resolution. Overall FPS is usually similar but in some games 8gb will be smoother.

Note the 570 8gb is not worth another $30, an RX 580 is though
