Hello guys. I am planning to build an entry level gaming pc mainly for light gaming (dota 2, lol). I dont really play FPS games. Below is my build.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400g
PSU: Cooler Master MWE 500w 80+
MoBo: GIGABYTE AMD B450 Aorus M
Cpu cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Led Turbo
Ram: HyperX Fury 8gbx1 DDR4 3200mhZ
Casing: Segotep Lux 2
SSD: PNY 2.5" SSD CS900 240gb
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1tb

(additional ram and dedicated gpu will be upgraded in future depending if i suddenly want to play AAA games, and the mobo is chosen for future proofing in case i suddenly want to play AAA games)

Please advice me on what to add, what is not necessary there and anything. Thanks. Btw, im from malaysia and all of this cost approximately RM2000. convert to USD around 450-500

If you can get a dual channel ram kit at that same frequency, you'd get a lot out of that Ryzen. It'll help you in the future when you want to go for a Ryzen processor and ditch the APU. If you can, get a 2x8GB DDR4-3200MHz config and leave it at that. it should last you a long while. All you're going to have to do is drop in a Ryzen 2700x in there.

What sort of parts do you have access to? You should be able to find an AData SU800 256GB SSD for about the same price.

Your build is good. We could fine tune it even more if we knew of your preferred site of purchase...?

For the Adata su800, is ot sata or m.2? I have checked the price and its close as that. Might consider for that mate. As for the ram, i might get another 8gb on january. RAM price at my place is so expensive, made me have a second thought of buying 16gb (8gbx2) alltogether. But i will surely add another 1 8gb stick in the nearest future.

U.S. Sources. PCPP offers no Asian countries, so its hard to match 100% and match pricing since it IS different than here in the States.


The improved build is better. But... I suspect your PSU is probably the weakest link in the build. I'm not familiar enough with the MWE series of CM PSUs to know if it is quality. If it's really cheap, it probably isn't.
