Total: $680 -$700

GA-Z77P-D3 Couldn't find it so I went with:

I had a lot of issues finding reputable parts for system 2 and wouldn't even go with it

System 4 (Decided to have my own fun)
Ryzen 5 1600: $157
EVGA GTX 1650 SUPER: $189
- Decently new and not an arm and a leg. Very solid performance vs. price.
ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING: $129
- MoBo I am currently using (I love it)
- Looks badass and has some nifty features.
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8): $78
- Pretty fast, not too expensive.
CORSAIR CX550 550W: $149
- A step below what I have now but still solid
WD Blue M.2 250GB SSD: $45
- LIGHTNING fast ssd. Makes use of that lil m.2 slot, making almost as fast as ram. (SATA bottle necks an SSD's speed. M.2 form factor relieves that bottle neck and allows it to run to it's fullest potential)
OR
WD Blue 250GB SSD: $45
- I would use this as your boot drive (Install windows here) and Save the M.2 for when you get some spare cash and pick up a 1TB M.2 970 EVO to store your games. (300+mods on skyrim and loading screens are 1second max)
Total (Without Case): $747
Lemme know what you think or if you have any questions! Have fun with it!
