After asking questions on the forums yesterday, I think I've come to a final plan for next year, possibly around summertime. Keep in mind that I won't be changing my processor and the motherboard. The rest of the build will fall if I do so.
(ALREADY HAVE) CPU: I5-8400 (reusing from prebuilt I have now)
(ALREADY HAVE) RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB 2666 MHz (upgraded in my prebuilt since I had the chance to)
GPU: GTX 1050 TI LOW PROFILE
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1050...253506011&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sr=1-3
MOBO: B365M PRO-VDH
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-ProSerie...s=motherboard+1151&qid=1601730201&s=pc&sr=1-6
PSU: EVGA 500 BR
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-100-BR-...ectronics&sprefix=500+,electronics,190&sr=1-4
CASE: Cooler Master MasterBox NR400
https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Maste...ER,p_36:1253505011&rnid=386442011&s=pc&sr=1-5
The GPU will change in the future. I'm getting the GTX 1050ti so I can at least have a chance on playing more demanding games, possibly at 720p.
Keep in mind that the whole purpose of this build is to have something easily upgradable. The first version of this build will not contain a GPU at all, so in reality, I'll still have the same performance from the prebuilt that I have now. The prebuilt is not upgradable.
So, any questions, concerns, comments? I am 90% done with this build plan, but I'm willing to change a few things. It's all compatible.
