So, I want to build a PC... Ar my specs good?

[alexholt120]

I wan to build a PC but I don't know if I'm forgetting something or if there are better solutions to this. My budget is 400€. I want to use my PC for emulation, RPG Maker XP, as well as some AAA games. Nothing too major. Keep in mind that it's € not $, so don't get mixed up with the prices.

Specs I would buy normally:
RAM: 2x Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 4GB DDR4-2400MHz (100,12€)
CPU: AMD A8-9600 (59,22€)
CPU Cooler: Arctic Alpine 11 Rev. 2 (13,66€)
Motherboard: MSI A320M Gaming Pro (71,44€)
GPU: Asus GeForce GT 1030 2GB (90YV0AU0-M0NA00) (100,00€)
Power Supply: It's a Cooler Master 460W power supply that I got from my old PC if the specs need more power please tell me.
Hard Drive: SSD KINGSTON SA400S37/120G SSDNOW A400 120GB 2.5'' SATA3 (already have it)

Also, I need a case for it so if anybody can recommend a budget but not trash case I would appreciate it. Lastly, I'm from Greece, so prices might be a bit different depending on where you're from.

I'm from Greece too. This is a good case: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/3294255/Aerocool-V3X.html
The CPU cooler is to no avail, the stock one will be fine.
If graphics is what you want, buy a 4GB ram stick, and get a 1050 2gb. The difference in gaming is substantial and generally, the GT 1030 is not worth it.
You can add another RAM stick later.
NOTE: You won't be able to play any 3A title on this budget.

I'm terrible with locations however something like this would be a bit better. You'd want to overclock the CPU to around 3.7+ range and the iGPU is close performing to the GT 1030. The PSU would allow for a better dedicated GPU later on.

Just a head's up you'll be gaming around 720P/60hz on lower settings.

So you mean I should just buy one 4GB ram stick? Sorry I'm new to this, this is gonna be my first build so I can;t really understand what you're talking about. By the way, can you speak Greek or are you just living there, just so I can make this easier for myself .

Short answer to your question, No it is not a good build. Stay away from the AMD A CPU's.

Your budget does not really allow for much. Wildcard999's build is solid for your requirements.

Do not go with less than 8GB of RAM.

I do speak Greek, you can inbox me. The system's suitability depends on YOUR needs.

Thank you for helping me out here. But do you think that I have to buy a new power supply or hard drive? I know 120 GB isn't a lot of storage and I also have a 2TB hdd from my last PC. I'm asking you because I could save quite a few money if I don't buy the power supply and the hard drive. Also, 3A were optional, so don't take the 3A gaming factor too seriously.

Your current storage and PSU would be fine, the biggest thing to get from the build I posted is the CPU/MB/RAM and to hold off on the dedicated GPU for now. Then having the B350 and overclocking the CPU/iGPU(Vega 8) will give you similar performance to the 1030.

oh, and I can't find the exact ram in my country, so what if I buy the ones on my build? If not, what if I buy:

or
https://www.skroutz.gr/s/7528619/Corsair-Vengeance-LPX-8GB-DDR4-3000MHz-CMK8GX4M2B3000C15.html
or even

Get the Gskill 3200mhz, Ryzen performs better with faster RAM.
