I'd suggest upgrading to a b450 motherboard as it will give you overclocking options and almost certainly be updated to support ryzen 3000 processors the a320 may not be.

Additionally the vs line from Corsair is a trash bin quality psu. I'm not sure what the options are but I'd avoid it

Would you reccomend downgrading 240gb ssd to 120gb so I can afford a 550w TXm series gold PSU? Is it worth it? I don’t mind about over clocking so the motherboard should be fine

Are you completely against building it yourself? This faster ram will help the cpu work faster, using a single 500gb SSD is cheaper than a 240+1tb and you can always add a 1tb HD very easily later. I'd ditch the hd up front to pay for the power supply and motherboard before I'd shrink the SSD

Like I said, I have 0 experience, tools or knowledge. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do it, and is much more safer to just order it prebuilt

Tools required...

1) Phillips head screwdriver.

2) 2 hands (can be done with one but a lot tougher)


There are hundreds of YouTube videos showing exactly how to build one.

Entirely up to you was just showing that at the end you'll be getting less PC for more money doing it that way. Parts only fit one way and as long as you're careful and don't get in a hurry its not a big deal.

I've built one in under 30 mins on my lunch break and even built one on a tractor planting soybeans. I wouldn't suggest either of those as your first attempt however lol.
