I've been doing a lot of research and forming this build, I like it, but there's always room for improvement. I wanted a cheap (under $600) PC that could play triple A titles and maybe some streaming. I don't need anything crazy, just one that will run well and doesn't cost very much. I'm waiting for graphics card and RAM prices to drop before I build it, and I also want any suggestions I can get, so if you have them, please comment! Thanks :D
 

List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4tP3tg

 

I went with the Ryzen 3 1200 because it runs well for cheap, and I like AMD. I considered the 2200G and the 1300x, but in the end I think it has the best price to performance value, also I want to overclock, and with the 2200G, it has issues with the BIOS that I don't want to deal with.
I chose the ASRock AB350M Pro4 Motherboard because it has all the necessary slots, and can overclock.
I chose the Patriot Viper Elite because it works fine for a relatively cheap price.

I chose the SanDisk 240GB SSD because I wanted a good SSD that can load games and windows fast, I didn't include a hard drive because I really don't use much storage, I can always add a hard drive in the future if I need to.
I chose the MSI GTX 1050 Ti because it works great, although the price is very high, it will be worth it in the long run. I considered the 1050 and the RX 560, but in the end the 1050 Ti runs the best, and I think it's worth it, when the GPU prices drop again it will be even more worth it.

As for the case, I'm still deciding, I want one with a cool color theme (probably blue/green) but I went with the Cooler Master - MasterBox Q300L for now, it was suggested to me.

I chose the Corsair CX 450W 2017 PSU because it's very cheap, but has all that I need.

Once again, any comments or suggestions are highly appreciated, I plan to build this sometime in the next few months when GPU and RAM prices drop, but there's always room for improvement.

I might go with a Ryzen 2200g. Cpu performance is slight better than a 1200. And maybe hold off and save up for a better gpu down the line

The 2200G has a lot of issues with updating the BIOS that I really don't want to deal with, and I was considering a better GPU, but they're all so expensive I really don't know.

Yes I know they exist, I was considering buying one, but the Vega 11 (the built in GPU) on the 2400G is horrible

No it's not 

The 1050ti gives you 5-10 percent more FPS and your getting DDR4-2400 which can lower FPS by 5-10 percent anyways

I just feel like I will really regret it in the long run... I'm unsure, I'll consider it but there really aren't any Vega 11 vs. 1050 Ti benchmark comparisons to go off of. If you really think it will improve my build, then I guess I could. I'm just worried about regretting it.

Assuming you'll be playing at 1080p

Which you probaly will with a 1050ti

Then there's almost no diffrence

Well I found this video, which is just a normal 1050 vs. a Vega 11. I don't want to sound like I'm arguing with you, I just really feel like it's not worth it. I would rather play it safe and spend a bit more to ensure that it will suit all my needs from now until I need to upgrade.

the 2400G's iGPU is on par with a 1030 using a 3000-3200mhz kit, not exactly 5-10 percent less performance than the 1050ti.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W
