I put in 16GB RAM, and a GTX 1070. although it's slightly over budget.
you could save money by going for a cheaper case or cheaper HDD

This is the first PC I can build however before I buy anything I want to know if it is any good or if I should change anything.

I'd get a 1600 unless you are doing super-heavy streaming or video editing.

 

Also, get a single 8GB stick, at a faster speed.

 

use the money you saved on a CPU to maybe go up to a GTX 1070

 

you also don't need a cooler, since the stock one is pretty good

 

you could also get a slightly cheaper PSU (M12II) and be fine, although it would be lower quality, so I can't really suggest that without you knowing the full implications of a tier 3 PSU instead of tier 1.

no point in 212 evo, stock is good enough

 

Gigabyte non-aorus amd cards suck, get something else, maybe a pulse.

 

Go for m12ii instead for psu

 

Use total money saved to get 16gb ram.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
