I'd imagine there's some savings to be made here and there, perhaps so you can have a more powerful GPU?

 

1500 dollars is a nice amount.

 

I'd just imagine you'd want to come out of it with something better than a 1650 if you are spending so much - especially as it only has the 4gb.

 

I don't know how much 16gb of RAM would cost, but is that something you could cut and just have 16 instead of 32?

your part list is pretty unbalanced.

for a big budget, you're getting an out of date cpu, an entry level gpu, a very expensive ssd, too much ram, a bad psu

first of all geting a 1650 super in a 1500 $ is not a good idea you get at least a 2060 super also a recommend waiting for the new amd CPUs to come out they will be much better and cost less compared to the i5 9600k

This seems a bit excessive, especially considering you're only going to use the PC for web browsing and light gaming. Even for running more intense games, you don't need more than 16GB RAM right now. I'd save some money and drop your RAM down to 16GB. Then maybe use the extra budget to buy a 1-2TB hard drive for extra storage space, or upgrade your monitor a bit (lol here I am suggesting someone to upgrade their monitor when I have the exact same monitor they're considering. It's actually a great monitor for the price, but if you increased your budget a bit you could get something larger and possibly with a better refresh rate - the monitor does feel a bit small for me)

 

Edit: Or get a better GPU with the extra money. For some reason I read that as a 1660 and not a 1650. You could definitely get a better GPU with the budget you have.

I think this is enough for your first pc, and given the intended use.

Thanks for the tips making the change to 16 GB of ram and an MSI GeForce RTX 2060 super, thinking of changing to an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 at 3.9 GHz wondering if that will still be compatible with my mother board though.

Here's another option, the ryzen 3700x is a place holder for the AMD 5600X (6c/12t)
