Hi, First time posting here. 

 

I'm trying to get back into using PC and I need one for Gaming and light media editing (mostly photos, maybe videos in the future). I also plan to do streaming (PC gaming and console [nintendo switch] ) in the future.

 

Here's my current list. and I need help with two things.

 

1. Are there any possible source for performance bottleneck?

2. I have about $100 extra, where should I spend it on? CPU/GPU/etc?

 

Prices from PCPP are not accurate since I don't live in the US.

 

Thank you to anyone who will reply.

Only thing I can think of is the power supply is super underpowered, something drawing ~500W you'll want an 80+ Gold minimum and get more wattage maybe closer 750W

according to PCPP, my specs are drawing around 469W. That's why I opted to use a 650W. Is that still underpowered? How do one decide which PSU to use? or is the wattage value from PCPP not accurate?

You are also paying double what you should for a vega 64, I found one on newegg for $500. I would recommend going for a more powerful GPU, maybe 2080(ti) .

Vega 64 from where i am is roughly $381. 2080 TI is way beyond my budget. 

 

Near to the Vega 64 cost are 1070 TI. I can allot the extra 100$ that i mentioned to go to 1080 instead of Vega 64, but I kinda want to make use of FREESYNC.
