Hi, 

 

I have been using a Y520 laptop till now and want to build my first build. I am from India and the part prices are a little different but I have done my best to convert it to USD. The planned use for the build is medium gaming and occasional streaming. Storage and other peripherals is a non-issue as I have already have them available. I plan to use them with a single 1440p monitor (or in addition with another 1080p monitor in the future). My total budget is around $1000 USD

All the prices are in USD. I already have storage!

The Ryzen 5 3600 costs $230, the G.skill Ripjaws V 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 3200MHz Desktop RAM X2 costs $85. These are two parts I am on the fence about. 

I chose the Ryzen over Intel i5-9400F because it costs much less than a Ryzen build when I factor in the motherboard prices. 

Any changes or improvements you can suggest ? Any inputs in the context of future upgrades ?

 

Edit: I am unsure about the case as well. I am looking for a well built , mid tower case with a glass side. I am planning to go with the stock cooler for a little while  so I have to factor that in as well. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
