Hi i'm from Pakistan and my budget is 700$. Cant go above as our currency tanked massively. 
The rig would be used for gaming and lite CAD work. In games id mostly play racing games like F1 2019, fifa (yes i just said fifa), minecraft, CS go, COD and Batman.
I plan on running a single monitor only. Please include the price of the monitor in that budget if u can.
ill need decent mouse and preferably a mechanical keyboard.

This would be my first ever PC so don't know much about component compatibility. I looked up some motherboards and other components but me being uneducated in this subject found myself in a rut again and again. Also this would be a home setup and most of my siblings plan to use it as well. 
Any help would be massively appreciated. 
Thanks in advance!

trying to estimate pakistan cost with US price tags will be very difficult. What vendor will you mainly buy from?

 

I recommend a Ryzen 5 1600 (or 2600 if it's barely more expensive) and a cheap B450 board to start, as well as 16GB of some DDR4 3000 (or 3200 if it's barely more expensive)

As for graphics card, the used market is so useful for good value. What kind of prices can you find for RX 470/570 models, as well as GTX 1060 models? Maybe look for stuff like an R9 390 as well.

What kind of power supplies can you buy? Usually budget oriented be quiet! power supplies are quite good, and I find are often very readily available outside the US at very low prices.

 

here's a basic part list that might help

Edited by Fasauceome

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

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

The vendor that i'd probably buy from here is called CZONE. 
and as for cost estimates nearly everything u list is slightly cheaper from the vendor except for the graphics card and mother board.
The 1650 series graphic cards are around $191 to $200 equivalent from here 

An RX 570 comes in at nearly $125 equivalent 

The motherboard that u mentioned sadly isnt available here. there are other micro-ATX cards tho. Some of them listed below
1)MSI H310M Pro-VD Plus LGA 1151 Micro ATX Motherboard

2) GIGABYTE B450M-S2H AMD AM4 Gaming LAN and Bandwidth Management, PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2, 7-colors RGB LED Strips Support, Anti-Sulfur Resistor Design Ultra Durable Motherboard

3) MSI MAG B365M MORTAR LGA 1151 ATX Motherboard

I found a very reasonably priced power supply as well. namely Thermaltake Litepower Series GEN2 650W Power Supply (LTP-0650P-2)

Thanks for your feedback man. much appreciated

Ouch, bad value on the 1650 there, the 570 beats it in gaming for that much less? And if it fits the budget, the RX 580 is a solid buy.

H310 and B365 are for Intel and not AMD, but that B450 board from gigabyte is compatible.

Oof, you do not want to cheap out on the power supply. Here are some good power supply models that might be available to you:

EVGA B2

Corsair CX or CXM, TX or TXM

XFX Pro XXX

Cooler Master MWE V2 (very different from V1)

Be Quiet System Power 9, Pure Power 10/11

Cooler Master MWE gold

 

Any of the power supplies I shared here at 400 watts or higher will do everything you need and then some. If you plan on upgrading quite a lot in the near future, possibly pick up a 550 watt PSU, otherwise you can keep it moderate.

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