[SOLVED] New build for my brother

[TheOhBuddy]

Hi all, made this build for my brother and was wondering how it looks? Anything I should change or can do for cheaper?

He is interested in playing racing games such as F1 2020 and Assetto Corsa, also games such as Cities Skylines. Trying not to go over $1500 CAD right now my Amazon cart is at $1362.54 CAD.

The cost of the GPU doesn't show up on PCPP, so does the additions to your list break your budget? The SSD is a must in 2021. As for the rest of the build, what case are the parts going into?

last pc that my sister build was under $500,its ryzen 5-4750G (6/12) with 16gb ram and gtx1650 super,while you can use the APU only if u dont play heavy game whil u can use the gtx1650s while u need it,

better just use the APU itself if u dont do obs or game streaming,cz my sister had 50-70fps while playing F1 2020,maybe it'll cost less than $350 while u can save money and the power used by the gpu,

and we run all of our pc diskless with 10gb ethernet connected,so we dont need any disks,the 2tb hdd seems fine for storing games.

hope it help

@TheOhBuddy go big on the SSD and add the storage drive later on. This build will beat a Ryzen 3600 like a rented mule in regards to gaming.
