Alright so I am super close to finishing my first pc build, (Ryzen 5 2600/ Radeon RX 5800) I only get paid once a month and am a kid, my paycheck coming in wont be enough to get what I would like so is there anywhere I could get 1 stick of 8gb of RAM for cheap, and also would it need to be at 3000mhz or should I also cut on that. What power supply would also be a good deal that is at least 500 watts. I don't think I should wait and save becuase I might not have any money at all leftover from my next paycheck

have a look on your local second hand website. a 8gb stick of basic ddr4 should be able to be picked up for $30 usd and a decent psu (reffer to the psu teir list) should be about the same

My rig: r7 1700 @ 3.9/1.35v, 16gb ddr4 3200, assorted rando SSDs, hx 1050, vega 64 1650/1025

Any particular reason you need 500 watts at least? There are some very affordable 450 watt units

Your rig will draw like 300 watts or so, maybe less. You good.

^^^ My OCed X58 Xeon and 1080 Ti can barely pull 550W under full synthetic load, an R5 and RX580 won't pull close to that, 450W should be plenty.
