Also when/if you upgrade to Ryzen you should buy another stick of RAM, Ryzen performs well when it has dual channel RAM.

Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen R7 3700X @4.4Ghz, GPU: Gigabyte RX 5700 XT, RAM: 32 GB (2x 8GB Trident Z Royal + 2x 8GB TForce Vulkan Z) @3000Mhz, Motherboard: ASRock B550m Steel Legend, Storage: 1x WD Black 1Tb NVMe (boot) + 1x Samsung 860 QVO 1Tb SSD (storage), Case: Thermaltake Core V21, Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

First of all: welcome to the forum.
second: the extra ram stick @Adorable Cat suggest would indeed make a big difference.
@NunoLava1998 's SSD i agree with, but i wouldnt get the RX 570 but a used RX 580 8GB.
Prices based on local market and i assume it is a 4GB GPU since a 1050 2gb doesnt have much value on second hand market(or anywhere): a used RX 580 8GB only goes for  +-€40 over the 1050. Selling yours would still fit the budget.

ryzen 3 for +- 100

SSD 120GB just for those nice boots and most used progs +- 25

RAM stick for +- 50

 

if you cant go over budget at all, maybe save a couple 10's extra and get a GPU upgrade later.

I am here to learn, please correct me if im wrong or you see me putting bs on your screen!

thank you very much for your opinions, i was thinking that maybe the new 3rd gen ryzen are much better than 2nd gen or 1st gen 

 i can w8(and i can it is not a big problem to w8 a couple of months) if you are suggesting to me to buy a ryzen 3 does it mean that there is not too much differences between the two generations 

PS where can i sell my PC components and where can i buy used pieces thank you

eBay is a good go to for me, I also sell via a local app called letgo

 

Also, make sure you quote or @ people so they know you responded

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

There is speculation that the core counts on all tiers of ryzen cpus will go up. There is a fairly good chance that the r3 will be a 6 core instead of a 4 core which would be a big difference and would be a much better value compared to current processors. Alternatively the prices on 2nd gen cpus will likely go down as well with the new release. It should also be mentioned that the new cpus will have a good jump in instructions per clock and clock speed making them quite a bit faster per core. Put all of this together and it makes ryzen 3000 series a significant jump from ryzen 2000 series and definitely worth the wait.
