Hey, it's my first time building my own gaming computer and I came up with this one just under $180. I'm a high school student in the 10th grade should I wait until I get a bigger budget or is this good enough?! What should I remove or replace? Please leave me tips and tricks on building gaming computers I'm pretty new.

For a budget that low, you'd be better off looking for a used office pre-built on Ebay with at least an i5 2400 and 8GB of RAM. For a decent new build you need at least $360.
