I wanted to build a budget gaming pc for a long time and now I am able to gather these parts tell me ur suggestions on it.

[Red :)]

Buy a 2 DIMM configuration of the RAM (in your case 2x4 GB) instead of 1x4 + 1x4 config.

I would not recommend you play on WiFi but I guess it's up to you. 

 

Anyways, I'm pretty sure you can get a Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB 7200 RPM for 10 bucks more than the current one right now. It might not be a huge speed difference but 10 extra dollars for another TB doesn't sound so bad to me.

I wouldn't be spending that much money on fans when there are other areas of the build that are clearly lacking...

As @Red :) suggested, get a matched kit of RAM. Also try and get a faster speed.

Use the money saved from dumping the useless fans to get better peripherals.

WiFi isn't that bad as long as you have a good connection. I played on it for years.

Like what others have said, matched kits and faster speed RAM would be preferred especially with Ryzen. Also, some of these cost slightly less than your current RAM choice.

But it can't be too fast to save a buck. So DON'T run out and buy 8 GB (2x4 GB) 4.2 GHz RAM.

That's too fast and expensive for gaming.

thanks i'll replace the ram with matched sticks. so is 2666mhz ok? what does it mean not to play on wifi does that mean i have to use ethernet?

You need to quote people like this or tag them like this @waqas1654 if you want people to know you've replied to their post.

yes you have to if you don't want to play on wi-fi

[AskTJ]

2 sticks of ram for dual channel, meaning faster ram and don't play on WiFi. Instead use ethernet.

Or else.... Build something like this for now...ND pop in a GPU later on. .. Nvidia will be releasing it new GPUs in upcoming months....And this rig is still capable of playing games at 1080p LOW-MID settings that too even without a GPU..

Hey OP. First off, we want to say thanks for considering Seagate! 

Secondly, the BarraCuda you've listed is a 2.5", 5400 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). So for performance, you might want to look around for the 3.5", 7200 RPM version of the BarraCuda (capacities 1-3TB) instead if you can find one for around that price bracket.
