I am have currently bought a system at PC Specialist, and I had a budget of around the 650 euro....
The System:
Asus Prime A320M-K
AMD Ryzen 5 3400G
16 GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2666Mhz
512 GB M.2 2000r/1100w
2 TB barracuda 7200 6GB/s
450W Power supply

Are there any things I should have done different?

Sir, here's your PC

The total would be 539 euros
for
Ryzen 5 2600 6 core 12 thread processor
Corsair 2x8 GB 3200MHz RAM
Asus Prime A320M-K
GTX 1050Ti
WD 500GB NVMe
1TB 7200RPM HDD
RGB mid-ATX Gaming tower

The 3400G is a popular entry level CPU for relatively low-cost entry-level gaming systems, but, depending on the game, the integrated graphics builtin next to the CPU die normally require modest (low to medium) settings if trying to game at 1080P, depending on the visual complexity/age of the game... (The iGPU performs better on other mainboards with faster RAM, most like to set a defacto target of 3200 MHz for RAM clocks, but, I'm not sure the A320 would have allowed that option of faster RAM clocks anyway)

And if not really into more than casual gaming, you should be set as is anyway!

Enjoy!

Could I have made a better choice regarding my budget? Or would you say that I made the right choice... Games I play aren't that demanding, I guess: City Skyline, Minecraft and maybe I would like to play Watch Dogs 1 and 2...?

Pc specialist charge too much and use fairly poor quality psu's.

If you'd built your own you could probably have got a discrete gpu in there with around twice the performance of the 3400g integrated graphics.

That said if it fits your uses then the 3400g is a decent cpu.

You just paid a little too much (meaning around €100) for that configuration because you bought from PC specialist.

Ouch! I have to deside to make that build later for my son, because the pc must be bought as a whole to be able for my wife to count it as expense on her company name. (tax wise)

But my son wants to have a pc early next year, an he has around the same budget as me, so I will make it for him... :)
Thanks,

Bro should have told me so, just replace the ryzen 5 2600 with a 3600 as it will be cheaper next year and buy GTX 1650 instead of 1050ti as these will be cheaper next year and go for a asus prime B450M-K Have fun and remember me next year cz im always hungry to see new builds🙂
