First build

[Mukund Dhar]

So, I am planning to build a PC and am looking for advice to finalize the parts. The parts are kind of thrown together.

Parts list:

CPU- Intel i5-8400 

Mobo-  GIGABYTE AORUS Z370 

Ram- G.Skill Ripjaws 16gb

SSD- Kingston A400 240gb

HDD Seagate Barracuda 2tb 

Graphics Card- Radeon RX 5700 XT 

PSU- Antec VP500 PC 500watts

Case- Phanteks Ecipse P350x 

The budget for the build is RS 104,281 or about 1300USD.

any advice on alternative parts would be appreciated

I had an earlier build with a Ryzen 5 1600x and a B450 mobo. Should go for an Aorus for the Ryzen ?
