Your mobo sucks and should never be paired woth anything. Ram is bad.

 

The r5 1600 isnt worth it for all the sacrifises you made.

 

 

Abd if you want to get storage later.

You didn't send the list

Anyways wait for the gtx 1650 and the 3rd gen Ryzen processors( they will have a big IPC boost at least that is what rumours suggest, trust me waiting is better than regretting later I have been there)

And in the meantime if you could increase your budget that would be very good, because at this price range paying a bit more gets you a lot.

 

Cheers

Some random stranger.

because your mobo and memory choice will but you in a terrible position in the future. A320 are usually badly built to make a decent price difference (if there is) while maintaining profilt for the manufacturer, while Ryzen drop quite a lot of performance with single channel memory let alone lower frequency.
