Is this build good

Budget (including currency): 1550TND(550$)

Country:Tunisia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming

Other details: i have all the peripherals i just need the pc,if prices don't go down in the summer because in tunisia there is stock but the official resellers sell for scalper prices even tho they are partenered by official manufacturers(gtx 1660 super for 650$ now compared to 10 months ago 330$).so if prices don't go down, I'm going apu

Here is my build:

Cpu:Amd ryzen 5 3400g wraith spire edition(173$/475tnd)

It's not too bad but is there no way to maybe change out the ram kit for a dual channel option instead? I think that would be more beneficial for the APU in terms of performance

Yup should go just fine.

 

If you can squeeze in a few bucks?  Getting a 250GB ssd will make life easier.

2x8gb, not 1x16gb for RAM

 

Hurts performance a lot on iGPUs

I'm using an apu and I barely had found a 16 go ram stick at this price and it is on sale and dual channel 3200mhz kit 8*2 are at least 95$ and more so

APUs have iGPUs. Getting dual channel will give you a 90%+ performance boost. It's worth the extra money.

Can someone help me choose the case from the ones, I listed, they are all micro atx/mini itx cases, i can find atx cases fir the same price but i do not want to have an atx case because then i would have motherboard dwarfism. Please help, or if you have arguments that convinces me to buy an atx case, because in my country they are a lot more commun then micro atx/mini itx cases. 

And the motherboard im confused to idk if i should get the b450 d3sh or the b450 a pro max.i think if i am only getting one stick of 16 go ram i think an going with the b450 a pro max because it only has 2 ddr4 slots and i don't think 32go of ram will become obselete any time soon, but if i get 2 sticks of 8 go of rams then i think i an going with b450 ds3h so i can upgrade later on to 32 go. 

Pls help me especially since this my first pc and i do not want to screw it up, help me choose the case and the motherboard.

I'm not the person to ask for case and motherboard (I'm better at CPU/GPU/RAM recommendations), but @Downkey may be able to help here.

So how much is the price of 2x8? What is the price of just buying 2 1x8 sticks?

It's a 3400G, the motherboard wont matter too much, just go with whatever one is cheaper.

What are some available cases in your budget?

8*2 ram goes for 95$ and more in my country,i think if i am getting 8*2, i am getting b450 ds3h( because it has 4 ram slots and it has m.2 for my nvme ssd. But if i only get 1 stick of 16 go of ram i think i am getting B450 A pro max since it is the cheapest mobo with m.2,For the case

I want a microatx/mini itx case because i do not want motherboard dwarfism in an atx case. 

But in my country they are rare, especially for my 45$ to 65$ budget

So i have three options for the motherboard:

Abkoncore c200m (47$)

Abkoncore c450m(52$)

Abkoncore c550m(64$)

I need to choose between those three or since you are more experienced than me, convince me if an atx case is a better option

You can get a SATA SSD, will be almost as fast as NVMe in daily usage. You can also go for the cheaper motherboard of chosen, performance will stay same - you choose one for IO/features/overclocking anyways. RAM could be only 8GB, it will not be a bottleneck with an APU. But do use dual channel, it can be 40% performance difference.

I think that in some time in the future i will upgrade to 32 go so i will get dual channel now or later. 

But just found out a520 a pro isn't compatible with amd ryzen 5 3400g

You should get dual channel now

That's because in the future you will put a GPU in there Is dual channel won't be as useful anymore and you would have lost a good amount of performance.

Get 2x4 or 2x8 GB and when you have the money buy a 2x16 kit if you feel the need.
