A good build to do what?

Also avoid the A400, they're just bad.

To play CSGO and get decent fps on low settings 4:3. https://www.amazon.ca/Crucial-BX500-120GB-2-5-Inch-Internal/dp/B07G3L3DRK/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=120gb+ssd&qid=1563729786&s=gateway&sr=8-4

 

Are Crucial good SSDs? I also have no idea if that case is any good, what are your thoughts on it and the motherboard. I am considering also GIGABYTE B450M DS3H since you can have more memory slots, and can be bought for 88$ on amazon open box. But I don't know because there is also GIGABYTE B450 AORUS M in similar price

Do you know what I should be looking in a motherboard apart it being compatible with the CPU and GPU? 

Features and reliability - the motherboard you chose is probably not a great contender in either of those but for a low budged build with a 1400 it should be ok. Note that it only has two ram slots so if you ever want more than 8gb of ram you'll have to throw your current kit away.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Why should I get the B450M if it costs more and has the same amount of ram slots? Yes I will probably get higher PSU

That b450 board is a way better board. I can trust a 3700x on it. Also, you cannot overclock on an a320 board. You can do one thing, get a single 8gb stick for now and add another one later on...

Or else you an get the ASRock b450m pro4. It cost around the same ND has 4 ram slots.

Does GIGABYTE B450M DS3H give the same performance? https://www.amazon.ca/GIGABYTE-B450M-DS3H-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07FWVJSHC/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=GIGABYTE+B450M+DS3H&qid=1563732693&s=gateway&sr=8-1 

Can I overclock my Ryzen on it as well?

 

I would get ASRock b450m pro4 since its 80$ but the catch is that it is in mail-rebate and I was told to never go for these because it takes very long time to get them etc.

Looks good... Add second ram stick later on...

Also replace that SSD with something like this..

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/78c48d/adata-xpg-sx6000-pro-256-gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-asx6000pnp-256gt-c

This is way faster and better than the Kinston one that you have in your build.

Also,

 

Yeah if I am going to spend 99$ on a motherboard I might as well spend 4-5$ more on a better one. The memory is a great find but it ends up being 96$ for shipping so I will stick with the Memory Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 8 GB although it is 2666 vs 3000 speed so it is a 10$ difference and from what I understand there is barely a difference. Can you recommend me another SSD since with shipping it ends up being 49$, or for 49$ it is the best I can get? Thanks
