This build is also good with RX 560 4GB version (to max out details and maybe resolution) and i3 8100 with 4 Cores.
The i3 8100 is as fast as Ryzen 5 1400 proof:

Power Supply: Raidmax - XT 500W ATX Power Supply ($39.99 @ Newegg Canada)

Kill it. Kill it now!
The only time 'PSU' and 'RAIDMAX' should appear in the same sentence, is if the words "DO NOT BUY" are in between.

The i3 buildnis good apart from the raidmax , swap it for the cx450 & its all good

The issue though is its $100 more than the ryzen 1200 build & we have no idea what the op's topline budget is

If its approaching $700 id honestly still probably go with a ryzen 1400 over the i3 , yeah its not as strong on outright gaming performance but on a future proofing level its undoubtably better.

Lol i will change the PSU for this build.
Thank you for checking my build and please tell me if this is good build or should i change the other parts?

^ its a good build apart from psu , ram could be faster but no great shakes

The issue with i3 8100 isnt the cpu , ita a good cpu at a good price.

The price of z370 boards though !?! Kill it for me when youre looking at a fairly budget (for intel) cpu.
Having to pay as much for a board as the CPU kind of makes it look bad value

Intel need to get the cheaper h/b series boards out there now so people have more options on the budget end of the spectrum .

I have my doubts theyll ever appear personally.

This one cost $700.

I have searched for the cheapest parts on Part Picker site.
But it can be cheaper if you search it on Amazon or somewhere else.

 

[budgetgamer12345]

The i3 8100 is faster than the Ryzen 5 1400 but you can also search the Ryzen 5 1600.
The Ryzen 5 1600 is faster than the i3 8100 and cheaper i think but im not sure.

^ yes not criticizing your parts (apart from the psu again still).

Thwre are no cheap boards for the i3 8100 , intel bought the release forward to burst amd's bubble & only highish end series boards are available.
You already picked the cheapest one there whichnis still nearly $150.

Psu still needs changing , the budget evga ones you kow have no idea what youre getting .
Could be superflower , could be outsourced to RSY (which makes them kind o junky) . the bt is rated at 30c & is group regulated so it is in undoubtably fairly crap - which would be fine at $30 but not at $50 when a cx is only $7 more

I agree with you.
He can also use the system with Ryzen 3 1200 and then change the GPU with the 4GB RX 560 version?
This is the best combination i think?
