I just recently got into tech and wanted to build my own PC, but I have no experience at. All of the parts I was planning on using are these:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler (YD150XBBAEBOX) = $150

  • ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Dual-Fan OC Edition Graphics Card (DUAL-GTX1060-O3G) = $236

  • EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-W1-0500-KR, Black = $35

  • MSI B350M PRO-VDH AM4 AMD B350 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard = $75

  • HyperX FURY 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model HX318C10FWK2/8 = $83

  • WD Blue 500GB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 inch - WD5000AZRZ = $ 45

  • Phanteks PH-EC416PTG_WT Eclipse P400 Steel ATX Mid Tower Case Glacier White, "Tempered Glass" Edition Cases = $70

But I'm not sure whether all of the components are compatible with each other or not. Is there any component I can switch to save money? My budget is around $700. Thank you for your help.

you can't use ddr3 with ryzen. Use pcpartpicker.com to make a part list, it has a compatibility filter.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Get a better PSU like a Corsair CXM or CX (2017)

You need to use DDR4 RAM

Swap the case for something like a Cougar MX330 and toss in a 120GB or 240GB SSD

Hello, if i was you i would go for a gtx 1060 6gb, i know it will go over your budget, but 3gb of vram is just not almost not enough in games anymore. If you're planning to be upgrading the gpu fast than it's fine, but because of the 3gb vram it won't be enough for a long time. And 6gb of vram will be enough for a long time. So if you're planning to play the newest games, and you want to keep your gpu for a while, go for a gtx 1060 6gb. However, if you're not planning to keep your gpu for very long, than you can go for the gtx 1060 3gb. The gtx 1060 6gb is just more future-proof because of the 6gb vram instead of 3gb vram.

DDR3 ram isn't compatible.

 

The MSI boards aren't that good.

 

The 1500X isn't good value. Look for a 1600.

 

The 1060 3GB looks overpriced.

hi.

I'll say just jump for a 1050ti than a 1060 3GB. i have a 1050Ti and runs AAA games pretty well. Its cheaper and i dont see a difference in the gaming performance as far as i can see.
