I would swap PSU with this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Q7L7YJ/corsair-cx-2017-450w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-cp-9020120-na
2x4 GB is better then 1x8 GB, also you would want faster RAM, but both those options would increase price considerably.

Trying to work with a $500 budget it is fairly good.

I would get a better power supply though. For 1) the EVGA you listed is not good quality and for 2) you should really try to get a decent 550w unit. This way you can upgrade to a better GPU latter without needing to buy a whole new PSU. A corsair CX 550w or seasonic S12 should be within $10-12 more when on special.

For these <$600 builds the important thing is to design it around upgradability, getting core parts (motherboard, and psu) that will enable future upgrades as you go.

not bad. I'd improve the PSU though. Look at these two units here as better units:

SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze (modular)
SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze (non-modular)

At least get dual channel ram 2x4gb, faster than 1 stick single channel.
PSU is also an issue. My edits:

Those CX (non modular) units are unreviewed. I advise avoiding it, when PSUs like the modular CXM have already been reviewed and proved great value.

Many thanks for the info and recommendation I think I will stick with Ryzen 2 1200 CPU for now and EVGA GTX 1050Ti. So, my uncle will place the order for these components by tomorrow. But the problem is, will the airport security allow him to transport these components to my country? I'm especially worried about the PSU and HDD. CPU and RAMs can be paired with the mobo to save space. Do you have any idea?

 

[vapour]

no idea about that...

Oh, I have to no idea regarding this, what are the differences? So, which PSU would you suggest me?

Ok, this will be my final build parts. Will this build cause any sort of issue? I've replaced the EVGA PSU with Corsair 550w CX, MSI mobo with the cheaper ASRock - AB350M, replaced single with dual channel ram 2x4gb as suggested by vapour. Thanks again!

MERGED QUESTION
Question from susan_beckham : "Rate and correct my budget build if necessary..."

Hello guys, my first post here in tom's hardware..

Is this a good build for my budget ( <500 ) entry level gaming? I want to know if the following PSU is compatible with the rest of the parts and supports them well.... I really like EVGA Gpu and that motherboard, I don't want to change em...

I already have case, hdd, rest of the parts.



CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200
Motherboard: ASRock - AB350M Micro ATX AM4
Memory: G.Skill - NT Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400
Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB SC GAMING ACX 2.0 Video Card
Power Supply: Corsair - CX (2017) 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

MB - The GIGABYTE below is a bit less expensive. Either would be just fine.
PSU - No. ...not even it is the new 2017 model. The Corsair CX lineup was improved in 2017 to be OK at best. XFX, Seasonic, or the EVGA G2 / G3 / GS / GQ lineups.

The modular CXM, not the non-modular.
