Thanks, I read somewhere that it was better for performance to use dual-channel memory, hence the 2x8gb combo at 3000Mts. But I'll research some more.

I'm trying to avoid used parts bc she's bringing me the stuff all the way to ecuador and I would like to count on warranty. So the rx560 isn't much better than the 2200g? what about a gtx 1050ti? overclocking can be an option to squeeze out some more performance. I'm buying the case and the PSU here in ecuador. Like I said in the post I got a 10lb limit for her to bring me stuff.

She lives in Saint Louis. Customs, basically for a 100$ processor I would have to pay 200$ in taxes.

I've drastically improved the build (I think) Hello, I'm planning to build a computer but I only have a whooping $500 budget. I live in ecuador and a friend is coming to visit from St. Louis Missouri, she offered to bring me computer parts, which also determines some of the parts I picked because I have a limit of around 10lb. (besides getting help with the build, I would take advice in how to pack the parts in a suitcase for traveling) If any of you guys is from St. Louis Missouri and knows where to get better prices in local stores would be helpful. I put together a lil' something that goes over the $500 but I would like to keep it under or $500. Here's the list of parts I've picked: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor $164.89 @ OutletPC Motherboard MSI - B450M PRO-VDH PLUS Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard $79.89 @ OutletPC Memory Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory $97.45 @ Amazon Video Card EVGA - GeForce GTX 1660 6 GB XC GAMING Video Card $214.99 @ Amazon Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $557.22 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-04-22 11:39 EDT-0400 Old List: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor $164.99 @ Amazon Motherboard Gigabyte - B450 AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0) ATX AM4 Motherboard $114.89 @ OutletPC Memory Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory $97.49 @ Amazon Video Card Asus - Radeon RX 560 - 1024 4 GB STRIX Video Card $164.99 @ B&H Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $557.36 Mail-in rebates -$15.00 Total $542.36 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-04-04 14:02 EDT-0400 My plan with this build is moslty play, stream and record, games at 60fps 1080p (Stream can be set up to 1080p 30FPS), the likes of: WoW, Guild Wars 2, League of legends and some other AAA titles Mostly open world RPG games.
