This is my 500 dollar build

 

processor: ryzen 5 2600 (120)

Motherboard: B450 (70)

Ram: You could go for 8 gb, for about 30 to 40 dollars, or double that for 16. Go for something that is 3000 plus mhz(30 to 40)

Graphcis card: gtx 1650 super (160)

storage: some kind of 240 gb ssd, from say kingston. Should be about 30 to 40 dollars or even cheaper. 

Hard drive: Your choice, get 7200 rpm though. 

Case: cooler master micro atx tower.(50 doolars

power supply: https://www.amazon.com/GOLDEN-FIELD-ARESZE-650W-Computer/dp/B07MLZ69HW/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=power+supply+golden+field&qid=1595686835&sr=8-2

brand is not quality. and if you're referring to the a400, that's a terrible tlc dramless ssd.

Unknown brand is never a good idea unless you know what the PSU actually delivers (not wattage), He wouldn't need a GPU and getting 1650 is not good at all, APU is enough

Never said it would have problems but there could come and the gtx 1650 is still not so good

That is true, he could go for a apu, but I dont know his exact work flow, and he said to have a graphics card, so i put in a pretty budget friendly card.

I have been using this same one for the past year. My bad I meant to just send the product page they have a 450 watt or 550 watt options as well.

Well an APU is more than enough for "office work"

I think I misunderstood his requirements I was thinking more of editing, or occasional games, or so kind of designing.

unless you have reviews (not customer reviews), that say it's a reliable and good unit, just recommend a known good unit.
