I am looking to build a PC for the first time to see if it is fun. 
I have a build that i am confident with, except i don't know what power supply to use.
Like i said this is just to see if i like building PCs, so these specs are low:
CPU: Ryzen 3 2400g - APU
GPU: Vega 11 - APU
SSD: Adata XPG SX6000 128gb
HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda
RAM: HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 C15 2x4GB
MBD: Gigabyte GA-B450M DS3H-CF
OTHER: Wraith Stealth Cooler, USBs
What power supply do i need? This PC has bad specs for gaming so if i try to game on it it will probably use a bit more power.
Also i would appreciate other advice like:
1. Are these compatible?
2. Will this case work? https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Versa-Gaming-Compute...
3. Will the Wraith Stealh Cooler + Case be enough to cool everything?
4. Other advice.

I tried the outervision PSU calc but it did not have Vega 11 graphics in its database of GPUs.
Also i don't get extra advice which is nice since this is my first PC build i will be attempting.
Thanks!

Use pcpartpicker.com to see if things are compatible and see wattage.

 

a 550w psu will work, BUT make sure you buy a good one. Take a look at this list, I suggest any 550w PSU from tiers S to B

aorus pro z390

noctua nh-d15s chromax w black cover

evga 3070 ultra

A few things:

 

1) Yes, they are compatible. But there are a few changes I would make:

 - Get the Ryzen 3 2200G, it's better value for money. You can add a dedicated GPU later when you save up.

- Get DDR4 3000Mhz or more speed RAM. Forget about C15/16. Just get whatever is cheapest for DDR4 3000.

- Get a better motherboard. I can tell that you are on a budget, but there are better motherboards out there. Go for a low end MSI or AsRock B450 motherboard.

 

2) Yes, that case would work, but it's a little choked for airflow. I would recommend the H15 over the H17, unless you can find H18.

 

3) Yes. Buy an additional fan if you can.

 

Here's an optimal build:

Btw, with the build that I mentioned above, you can overclock the Ryzen 3 2200G (message me if you want to know how) to get the same/better performance than the 2400G, which you couldn't have done with your initial build (because of the awful motherboard)

You can remove the GPU if you'd like and add more storage but this is a pretty capable mid tower machine. The 16GB of ram over the 8GB will be a big help.
