Hey guys,

I'm building a PC for a friend of a friend and I really don't want to mess things up. He had a budget of $1500 AUD including a monitor and wanted it to last for at least 4 years. Can you let me know what you think of this set up?

Thanks for your time.

I agree, spend less on psu, get a 550 bronze tier unit. Spend more on RAM, Ryzen likes at least ddr4 3000.  I'd say start up the system with a 500gb ssd and get the OS installed and all that jazz.  Get a hard drive down the road when u need it to expand storage.
