Solution
It looks to be a standard mid size case, and if it is, those components should still fit... but I'm not entirely sure on the psu. I couldn't find the dimensions for psu clearance. Can you check and see if your 550w will fit? If it does, everything else should be good. It's an atx case, albeit slightly shorter in width than your friend's case, but the Ryzen 1200's stock cooler will still fit.

The 1st list has 16gb, and the 2nd 8gb of ram. If you like to play AAA games, some of them use more than 8gb. If that's not an issue, then the 2nd list will do.

you cant play any games without GPU on Ryzen 3...
Try looking for Ryzen 3 2200G or Ryzen 5 2400G (APU With RX Vega Series on it)

in case if you dont want to use any GPU

Yes, your psu can handle this. Then you can upgrade the gpu later when you have the necessary funds. Maybe the prices will have gone down by then.

That's not a cpu, but a motherboard.
Did you mean 2400g/2200g? You can use either of these, the issue is getting a board with the latest bios, or they won't work - you'd need to make sure the vendor gives you an updated board.

Tl;dr all comments, but i just built a very budget pc for £300 for csgo.. i found that best way is to look for cpu+motherboard bundles on ebay or google, try it! I got one myself and saved some money on that.

You can use that motherboard as well. The one in my initial post was just a suggestion, nothing more.
