Any suggestions on building gaming pc with $1500 or less budget? What I have in mind is this build. Not sure tho if this would work fine.
Ryzen 5 2600x
Msi radeon rx580
Msi 450 tomahawk
Seagate Barracuda 2tb
Corsair Vengeance 16gb ddr4 3000
Samsung 860 evo 500gb
Cooler master hyper 212 evo
Evga 650BQ power supply
I’m pretty new on building pc and I am not sure if this is a good build for gaming.
 
Is that $1500 CAD or AUD?? Because you can do a LOT better than that with $1500 USD.
