Need advice for my first build

[toby04]

This is my first PC build and I need some advice on whether my components are suitable. I will over clock a little bit but I will be using the stock cooler.

I plan on playing some lighter games, not COD, or battlefield or anything like that.
The games I plan on playing are
-Fortnite
-Skyrim
-Batman: Arkham asylum
-CS:GO
-Civilization V

I have designed this build so I can upgrade it easily. I already have a copy of windows and a monitor so that is not included in the costs
The specs are:

Case: Deepcool Frame (https://bit.ly/2PkA4NP)
Power supply: SilverStone ST40F-ES230 (https://bit.ly/2MyQnFL)
CPU: AMD A8-9600 APU (https://bit.ly/2OWD3wp) with stock cooler
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350M-A (https://bit.ly/2vTOX1q)
RAM:Team T-Force Vulcan 2400MHz 4GB (https://bit.ly/2vwYDQ4)
Storage: A WD hard drive from another PC
GPU: The radeon r7 integrated graphics from the APU
Case fans:Silverstone FN121-P RL X2 (https://bit.ly/2NzVeHj)

I will also buy a fan splitter for the case fans because the Motherboard only has one fan header


My budget is $400 AUD(+/- $15)
I plan to add a discrete graphics card later once I save enough money, probably an RX 580 or similar. I will add an ssd, and upgrade the ram to 8gb, and upgrade the CPU

I would like your opinion on these components. What settings would I be able to play games ans what FPS rates would I get. are there any improvements I could make within the budget?

I am buying my components from pccasegear.com and umart.com.au. All prices are in AUD

Thanks for the help

That CPU will be way under-powered for Rx 580 anyway so you would have to change that too. See if you could squeeze at least R3 220og or 2400g.
Those A8-A10 processors are just old FM2+ CPUs made to work with AM4 socket and will not be any faster than on FM2+ motherboards.

I intend to upgrade to a ryzen 5 CPU, would that be more suited to an RX 580? what CPU/GPU do think is best for this build?

Ryzen R5 2600 seems to be "Best buy" nowadays, more than enough for all but top end GPUs like 1080Ti or Vega 64. Perfect for Rx 580 for instance. Can be used with B 350 chipsets and even better with B 450.

Massive mistake using the 9600,as already said it is literally a redesigned athlon.

bit over budget but absolutely 100% worth it - you do really need 8gb ram from the off though if using integrated graphics.
