Help with first pc build

GoogleChromeLite · April 1

Budget (including currency): 350 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite, Valorant, maybe editing idk

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

I have a few thoughts about some parts, but I have no experience with pc building at all. I'm wiling to buy used parts if I can get more performance with that.

I was thinking about an RX 580, Ryzen 5 2600, and I don't know what motherboard I should get. I think I might get a ASUS tuf gaming bronze 450w for the psu, and montech sky one lite, and like 16g of ram. If I need to make any changes, please tell me so.

You should either save up more and double your budget atleast, or you should go for used market. You can get Dell Optiplex 7040 or 7050 with 16GB of ram, 250GB SSD, and either of the Core i7 7700 or 6700 for 150-200$, and then slap in a used 1660 Super or 5700XT.

yep do what @SorryClairesaid. Save and get a higher budget. Get to 600 minimum then come back. 350 is too little for a PC. If you forget about Valorant and editing then you could get a console.
