Which components should I buy first?

Which components should I buy first?
I'm going to buy the components for my gaming PC, but I don't know which ones should I buy first:

CPU: Intel Core i3-7100 3.9GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H LGA1151
Memory: Corsair ValueSelect 8GB DDR4 2133MHz
Storage: Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB & Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200RPM
GPU: Sapphire RX 470 NITRO+ 4GB
Case: Corsair Carbide 100R
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+
PCPartPicker link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jBNB9W
The final cost is U$D950 (I live in Argentina, South America), but I only have half of that (almost, U$D475).

Get a different PSU

I'd get a case first, put it under your desk and pretend you have a PC

get a seasonic s12 or ssp - they're both decently high on @STRMfrmXMN's list

ssp only goes up to 350w

Hahahaha, maybe I'll do that, xD. I can't afford a better Power Supply, the 80+ Bronze ones are too expensive for me, they're at about U$D50 more than the 80+.

The Pentium G4560 performs within 10% of the lowest-end i3 and costs much less. Get that and you can afford an actually decent PSU :)

 

The aforementioned Seasonic S12 should do nicely. They sell a 430W version for not a lot of money.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

Then get a G4560 instead. Never cheap out on a PSU

if you have your list narrowed down......... I always try to buy at least the cpu and board at the same time. but almost always buy the cpu/board and ram at the same time.

I think I'm going to buy the GPU (stores are running out of RX 470) and the Carbide 100R...

Yes, but the GPU too, because the store that has the cheapest RX 470 is running out of stock...
