First build. Small budget.

[Snergle_Derf]

If I build this, it will be the first computer I've ever built. I'm trying to build something that can game ok, and stream ok. I can't exactly do either at the moment because a few years ago, I was turned to the Mac side.

*Note* If you try to game/stream on a MacBook air, it starts to scream and burn your fingers. 

I have a budget of around $525. I just want to know if this is good or should I save more money and get better components.

Yeah that's a pretty good system although I would try and get faster RAM, more storage, and a better PSU.

I would get a used r3600, used ram, and used GPU. those dont really make a difference if they are new or used so you could save quite a bit there. 

 

Edit: get at least ddr4 2x4gb 2933mhz. (2400mhz is just too slow for ryzen)
