Hi everyone! 

I'm attempting my very pc build and this forum seems to be the place to go. I play only a few hours a month of gaming but when I do I like to have at least some decent graphics (my laptop just isn't doing it right).

I'm quite overwhelmed with all the stuff that I need to learn and the complexity of it all. But I came up with a build and since I know nobody who can tell me whether or not it will fly, I decided to post it here and get other people to review it for me. 

 

 

CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 3400G 4-Core 3.7 GHz - $313 CAD

Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX - $159.99 CAD

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) - $99 CAD

SSD: Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe 500GB - $84.99 CAD

PSU: EVGA 400 N1 100-N1-0400-L1 400W Power Supply - $49.99 CAD

CASE: Cougar MX330-X Mid Tower Case - $49.99 CAD

Total: $794.40 CAD (with shipping)

 

The reason why I went with the Ryzen 5 3400G is because it seems to give me decent enough graphics for what I would use it to and it bypass my need to find a graphic card...which are very difficult to find.

 

Thoughts?
