I need some assistance with this build.

Im not good at this and this is my first time building a rig, and i found it difficult to do with the prices considering my range was $380, Is there anything better i can do with this?

Any feedback is appreciated! My goal is a budget gaming rig

Don't waste money on older CPUs, get a Pentium G4560 (with an LGA1151 board) or if you want to spend a bit more money, get a Ryzen 3 1200 (with a B350 board). ;)

 

EDIT: Only $17 more for MUCH better performance, it's definitely worth it:

Honestly your best bet is the ryzen 3 build that @PCGuy_5960 posted. It's even got a good upgrade path and 4 proper cores.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
