Hello, I've been doing some research in order to build my first non-prebuilt computer, I wanted to know if there's any glaring mistake on the current plan, I don't know much about Motherboards and I don't know if I should go for RAMs with 2666mhz or 3200mhz, so any guidance on those topics would be greatly appreciated.

I dont know the prices for you but here are some things that are wrong:

 

The psu is a literal firehazard it kills computers do not get it get a higher quality unit. A evga bq or corsair cx 550 gray would be a good option.

 

The gpu you got it the special more expensive low profile version which is also one of the slowest versions of the card just get a regular one.

 

Skip the hdd and just go for 1tb of ssd storage it's going to be better for your purpose.

 

Get a kit of ram NOT 2 separate sticks those are not guaranteed to work nicely togheter. For this intel chip 3000mhz is good enough.


The board you got is extremely low end and does not handle the 11400f well. I recommend a slightly better board.

Changing the PSU for a EVGA 600 BQ (the 550w one was more expensive for some reason)

Would a "Zotac GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 AMP" work as an alternative? There's also the "MSI GeForce GTX 1650 D6 VENTUS XS OC" and "ASUS TUF-GTX1650-O4GD6-GAMING" available as options.

 

Going to change the RAMs for this

As for motherboards, would this one work fine?

- cpu+cooler+motherboard = best decent part for low-med activity right now

- ram = find with couple ram (1 box have 2 stick mean dual channel) with 3200hz cl 16/3600 cl 18 

- storage should choose nvme ssd (main system), the price is cheap like ssd sata 3 right now

- power supply : find 500-550W 80+ bronze with big brand name, under 50$. best choise for low -med system

- vga + monitor = best decent part for low-med activity right now
