Smooth experience.

A little more expensive but it has a 580. @nitsuga5124 If you don't get a quality PSU now, you could be facing dead components in the future.

RAM: 2133mhz

PSU: 450W is enough and cheaper

GPU: go for the RX580 if you have enough with what you tacked from the RAM and PSU

Keep the RAM at 2400, as the g4560 as proven benefits from 2400MHZ making it equal an i3 7100.

 

I wouldn't go cheaper than a 40$ power supply. This is a good quality unit and less wattage is not worth the compromise. 

 

choosing a cheaper case is enough to get an RX580, but they're all out of stock.
