I’m planning to assemble a new PC because my old one stopped working completely. I need assistance since I can’t afford to lose it. I’m aiming for a budget around $500 and want to make the most of it. In Finland, finding affordable parts is tough, so I’m considering getting a Ryzen 5 3400G now. Once I have that, I might upgrade later with a graphics card. Right now my setup includes an MSI B450-A PRO MAX Ryzen, an RX 580 with 8GB RAM, a Hyperx Fury 2x8GB power supply, a Silentumpc SG1S fan set, and a 240GB SATA SSD. My thoughts are whether to buy the Ryzen 5 3400G now or wait for a better GPU with the Ryzen 3 3300X in about three months.

Consider ordering from other EU nations. I recall a Finnish or Swedish individual who purchased components from Germany.

You're asking for clarification on what "completely broke" means—specifically, whether all parts stop functioning.

Certainly, you can repurpose the case and other functional components.
