Hello there!
I decided to create my first (budget) gaming pc. With the help from some youtube videos with the parts (and some additions of my own(which is what I need help with)) I have a list. I need help so I can know if I have the correct components or if I need to switch some out. (Also, if you find an item with the same speed/specs at a cheaper price, let me know!) The parts are below.


Thank you all in advance!! -Fundungeny
 
https://pcpartpicker.com/ automatically gives you the best pricing and compatibility. It'll help you build your system easier. The parts you picked arent too bad, but

-that power supply shouldn't be used for this type of system.
-ram should never be purchased as a single stick. always as kits. most modern motherboards are made to work with pairs.
-you said "no i don't want an ssd". please explain.
-about half of the parts you selected are not sold by amazon. please keep in mind, if you buy from a third party seller there is a high chance the manufacturer will not honor any warranty.

Ill update this post with a recommendation in a few minutes.

huh? no it isnt. also, you posted the same video card. no clue what you are talking about.

just curious, why recommend a worse power supply for a slightly better motherboard?
