[SOLVED] Is this a Good Build for $340?

[joshuakeen61]

Hey I'm doing a budget build for my younger brother and was wondering if the was good. The purpose is to have a low cost build, but can upgrade it in the future to make it better. My absolute budget is $340 no more. Please tell me what you think.

CPU- Ryzen 5-1400 ($50)
CPU Fan-CRYORIG - M9a 48.4 ($24)
Motherboard- Micro-ATX Motherboard (B450M Bazooka) ($81)
Ram- G.SKILL Aegis 8GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) ($44)
Powersupply- EVGA 600W ($20)
GPU- GTX 750ti ($50)
SSD- 240GB ($30)
Case-Thermaltake Versa H15 SPCC Micro ATX Mini Tower ($37)

I use that processor and 8 gb of ram as well no issues. Where did you find it for $50?

I would get a rx 560 used on ebay for about $80 ish that 750ti is just far too old.

Wow, nice prices on some of that.

If you go with an 'ultra cheap' case, you should be able to afford a better GPU.

Its going to be UGLY, but it doesnt matter. Ill try to find a better GPU, but at most it will have to be 70 dollars or less.

I got it from a neighbor that bought the wrong CPU and couldn't return it since it took him longer then a month to get all the parts.

A GTX 750ti isn't a bad low end option...if it will get you up and running go for it. Just keep in mind to budget for something better, soon. I might consider scrounging around for at least a 960, used before committing on it.

That's a very respectable build for that money. Good job!
