@FirstTimePCBuilding here a build I would suggest. All decent components; which should last a few years depending on your need. It does not included a monitor, you can source these cheaply locally used (need to find that deal though) PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor $174.99 @ Amazon Motherboard MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard $79.99 @ B&H Memory G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory $46.99 @ Newegg Storage ADATA SU635 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $56.99 @ Amazon Video Card Gigabyte Radeon RX 5500 XT 8 GB OC Video Card $199.99 @ B&H Case Rosewill SRM-01B MicroATX Mini Tower Case $32.98 @ Newegg Power Supply Corsair CX (2017) 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply $68.98 @ Amazon Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $660.91 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-03-03 03:35 EST-0500 is psu is bronze, but it’s totally fine for this build (bronze rating are fine, as long as you buy a good quality psu). Gold rated psu’s cost much more and not suitable to your budget.
NO mouse, mouse is just preferable. same with keyboard. the monitor is a needed, but it being good is just preferable. I don't know what 80+ white means
I purchased a $600 gold PSU using guidance from someone experienced in PC building. The setup included an ASUS monitor, a $50 mouse, and a $40 RGB keyboard. Prices are constantly shifting, so this was roughly two to three months ago.
It's impressive how well-informed someone can be in their discussions. Beyond the white power supply, what aspects of the build stand out to you?
It doesn’t seem like a major issue since it’s a typical PSU and won’t ignite right away once the PC starts up.
