Requesting assistance with PC Build

I'm planning on building a decent PC for the purpose of gaming, I play League of Legends, Minecraft, and Diablo 3 RoS. In the future I plan on playing Diablo 4 when it comes out and my current computer is already struggling with 3. I'm not quite sure of the budget but I don't need something overly expensive. I just need recommendations for certain Motherboards and CPU's that work well together, I'm not looking to spend much over $400

This is what I would recommend as well, $400 is a very limiting budget but this is a good system considering.

So this is the deal as Linus said in his video "Should you buy a $50 dollar CPU??".

 

Ryzen 5 3600 Linus quoting:

Quote

Ryzen 5 3600 Linus quoting: so the 3600 still looks like a terrific value. Because remember guys when you calculate the value of an individual component you don't just take it in isolation. So you can't say this cost four times as much as 3000G therefore it should perform four times better. You've got to look at the price of the system. This system right now is 450 dollars (one with ryzen 3000G and GTX 1650) if we spent another 150 dollars on our CPU that would put it at 600 dollars but that's only a 30% increase in our budget for what would be more than a 30% increase in performance that's why at the end of the day the lesson is and continues to be build yourself a balanced system because that is how you get best bang for the buck.

In the future upgrade the GPU (maybe PSU depends) and that's it.

I don't agree. Spending 200 more is spending 50% more. The difference between the 1600af and 3600 isn't more than 20%. Think that OP needs a entry level gaming pc and wants to play now. Why wait another 2 months to get money for a more expensive pc that OP doesn't need?
