i was going to make a list but @youngboy got pretty much what i would have gone for. You can always add an extra ram stick later as needed. Only problem is that list doesn't have a gpu, which will limit you, but i think that's simply a case of not enough budget. Do you have a current rig with an existing case or psu you can salvage and save money from?

If you're using integrated graphics, you really need to go with fast memory, and you really need dual channel. You're killing the system by not having those.

That PSU also ruins any kind of future expansion. Waste of money.

I'm not the most knowledgable about gpus, but I got a 1660 and it does just fine for me. But I don't play AAA titles or anything competitive, so you might need better than what I have. I've heard good about the 1660 super

As for the psu, check with the psu tier list. It'll make sure you don't get a piece of junk

Update, there's a GPU tier list too

Then a 3300x is a smarter CPU choice.
