It's my first time posting here since I don't know where else to go to have my questions answered

I'm trying to build a cheap PC that can handle most of the free to play games today, like Apex Legends, Fortnite and what not.

I run a internet/gaming cafe and I'm trying to get my PCs up to date, since almost all of them can only run Roblox.

I made a list for now, but I'm not sure if it's an OKAY list? 
 

mobo - Gigabye GA-A320M-S2H  

 

cpu - AMD Ryzen™ 3 2200G with Radeon™ Vega 8 Graphics 

 

gpu - Galax GTX 1060 EXOC White 3GB 


psu : Raidmax 500watts, XT, PSU, pn: RX-500XT


ram : 8gb ddr4 2666 Tforce Delta RGB 


case : Raidmax Neon Led, acrylic side, atx, black, 3x120mm

 

I already have some left over hard drives so I think I won't be buying any of them.

So yeah, I'm sorry in advance if I posted on the wrong thread, but I do appreciate the help.

What is your budget, what form factor, what resolution are you playing, do you want to run at 60 fps or 144 fps?

If you want any kind of upgrade path, you'll opt for a B450 motherboard, and I sort of feel like that would be important to save money in an internet cafe, though correct me if I'm wrong.

Probably 40 - 60 fps would be fine in my opinion since the people who will be playing on the PC wouldn't know the difference.

The power supply is crap check the power supply sticky for a better quality one.

Sorry for asking this but how do I know what's a good PSU and what's a bad PSU? And how does the sticker determine that? Sorry I'm clueless.

EDIT : NVM Completely misunderstood this lol sorry, I'll check it out! :)

Probably, but I'm trying to build something super cheap, since I'll probably buy around 10 of them.

Low settings? if so the most you need is a rx 560 for around 120, or you could go used and get it for 80 or so. depending on your counties market.

Philippines, South East Asia

There is Newegg for the Philippines right? You should be able to get good rates on the parts I shared then

AMD is usually cheaper than Nvidia for the same (in the case of the 580 vs 1060 6GB) or better performance (RX 570 vs 1050 ti)

Alright thanks for the help, I'll probably switch to Radeon other than Nvidia, and I'll check out Newegg here :)

What if I probably wouldn't upgrade anything for the next like 3 to 4 years lol, would the Mother board that I picked be good? Or noo?

well, in 3 years you can drop in a powerful 8 or even 12 core if you have a B450 board but not an A320.
