I have a budget of $650, what should i buy

Hunter343

im planning on making a gaming pc to play games like fortnite, rocket league, terraria, g mod e.t.c

i already have a few parts

parts:

thermaltake n21

ryzen 3 2200g
wd caviar blue 1tb
evga 500w bronze
and i have an acer 21.5 inch monitor led
i got all of those parts for $580 (i dont live in the us so parts are a bit more expensive here ($10-$40 more)) 
i know i dont have a graphics card yet but im not sure what to buy yet... can anyone give some ideas about what i can use
would a gtx 1060 6gb work in this system i found an amazing deal a gtx 1060 6gb ino3d for $77

EVGA 500w Bronze is really bad, I suggest getting a Corsair CX 450 or CX450M instead for a bit more

You can probably fit a GTX 1050/1050Ti in that budget

SPECS: Intel Core i5-4460 // PowerColor Red Dragon RX 480 4GB // 1x8GB DDR3 RAM // Delta 500AB-6A PSU // HyperX Cloud Stinger / Logitech G710+ / Logitech G502 / Xbox One Halo Guardian controller // LG 24M45H 1080p //

When they become available at decent prices for your build I would recommend a 1050 ti since the games you're planning on playing aren't too crazy intensive. Also if you haven't bought your Ram yet I strongly suggest at least dual channel since the new Ryzen APU's take massive hits when running single channel only.

But if you were going for 2x4 stick of RAM you will not be able to upgrade it to 16GB since that board has 2 DIMM slots only. More capacity>more channels

I am not sure how much more overpriced it is in your country, but my advice is to go for the 2400G and a faster DUAL CHANNEL ram if you are trying to game, since game performance almost linearly increases according to memory clock. If you really can't afford a faster RAM, please spend a few dollars more to get DUAL CHANNEL!
