500euro build

[spiroulis]

Hello, a friend of mine wants to build a pc and asked me to pick parts for him and i want some wizards here to review my choices and give their suggestions.The budget is up to 500euros and he plans to use the pc for his studies and some light gaming with games like league of legends. A specific thing he asked was to make it not use a lot of electicity which is why i chose a plus gold psu. Here are the parts:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Box 140euros

RAM: G.Skill RipjawsV 16GB DDR4-3200MHz 55euros

MOBO: here im a bit lost, im between MSI B450-A Pro Max 83euros and Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4 80euros

SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB 65euros

PSU: Be Quiet Pure Power 11 500W CM 75euros

and a coolermaster box that he liked at 61 euros

which all adds up to a total of 479euros.

All suggestions are very appreciated, thanks in advance :).

A few things to keep in mind:

 

-the 3400g is not a Ryzen2 processor. It’s 4/8 ryzen+. ryzen+ is not as well thought of as Ryzen2.  There may be memory speed limitations on the processor.

-there is a tierlist in the motherboard section that may be useful making a determination of motherboards.

Be wary, this is a teir D unit over here

If he wants a upgrade to a gpu, he would need a new PSU, as its a low quality unit.

Does he need to be able to upgrade it later? Check out the new small pc:s with Ryzen 4700U too. Low power consumption and the cpu is still faster as those have zen2 cores.
