PC Upgrades?

[popop2.0]

Budget (including currency): $1000 (U.S) Dollars

Country: U.S

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games in General (Apex Legends, Fornite, Valorant, Minecraft, etc)

 

I plan to use 1 monitor and I don't want to include peripherals in this build price

 

Here is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9KjYVw

 

Right now, it's just under the $1000 price range. I want it to play games at decently. Are there any changes that I should make, like a new PSU, GPU, or Ram, or do you think that it is good? I'm not sure if my PSU is good and/or reliable.

 

I MEANT TO HAVE 16 GB OF RAM IN THE BUILD, NOT 32 GB. Please recommend 2x8 GB ram sticks

That RAM is going to be a bottleneck and that psu isn't one to be recommended.  Try this.

You don't want 16GB of RAM for a new build .. not in this day and age.

i think I would still prefer going with 16GB of RAM, but thanks for your other suggestions. Also, I would really like all parts to be available on Amazon.

Because of the way ddr5 is built, it'll be roughly 40% slower if your have 8gb sticks or ie a 16gb kit. I'd either get a 32gb kit of ddr5 or if you're really content with 16gb then get a ddr4 kit

[SorryBella]

Doesnt cost that much extra to get AM5 if we're going with DDR4.
