You gotta love all these new guys coming in here for the first time and making topics like "NEED HELP!!!!!", "PLZ HELP!!" and so on.

I'm sure we were all new at some point lol.

Anyway, I am new as well. Just not to tech forums. If you edit your post, you can make the required changes to your title. Something like "Advice on new PC build". As for the location, I'm sure a passing mod will fix that.

This is my first time building a PC and i was wondering for your guys input. Anything i could swap, make better, or tips in general. My budget is around 550 but im open to suggestions.    http://pcpartpicker.com/list/RwhTr7

Looks fine

 

but the Kaby Lake Pentiums have hyperthreading and are cheaper than the i3s they replaced, just need one of the newer boards

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Also ya, if you can get an RX 480 4gb at $200 then it's pretty good, but otherwise get a dual fan RX 470 potentially, maybe 10fps behind but still over 60fps at 1080p

So you want to have a SSD at 550USD and a RX480 4GB?
Can you order via Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg etc?
AAA titles (GTA V, Crysis 3, Hitman, Deus Ex: Mankind, Battlefield 1...) or not? And if yes, at what settings and what framerates?

Build with SSD
As far as the SSD goes, it really is the best one you can get on that budget. It really is.
If you can't shoot 20 dollars over the budget just get this card instead.
Build without SSD
About the PSU, it is a bit questionable but i think for your price point it's fine. Here's a link to a JonnyGuru review (the best and most reliable PSU reviewer)
For your budget i think the RX 480 4GB is the build. The CPU will bottleneck a bit, but performance with RX 480+i3-6100 is much better than RX 470+i3-6100. Personally i'd get the RX 480 4GB and skip on the SSD and maybe upgrade when i have the cash.

Good luck!
