First ever build//Need advice

[toby04]

This is my first PC build and I need some advice on whether my components are suitable. I will over clock a little bit but I will be using the stock cooler.

I plan on playing some lighter games, not COD, or battlefield or anything like that.
The games I plan on playing are
-Fortnite
-Skyrim
-Batman: Arkham asylum
-CS:GO
-Civilization V

I have designed this build so I can upgrade it easily. I already have a copy of windows and a monitor so that is not included in the costs
The specs are:

Case: Deepcool Frame (https://bit.ly/2PkA4NP)
Power supply: SilverStone ST50F-ES230 (https://bit.ly/2Q3Jpus)
CPU: AMD A8-9600 APU (https://bit.ly/2OWD3wp) with stock cooler
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350M-A (https://bit.ly/2vTOX1q)
RAM:Team T-Force Vulcan 2400MHz 4GB (https://bit.ly/2vwYDQ4)
Storage: A WD hard drive from another PC
GPU: The radeon r7 integrated graphics from the APU 
Case fans:Silverstone FN121-P RL X2 (https://bit.ly/2NzVeHj)

I will also buy a fan splitter for the case fans because the Motherboard only has one fan header

My budget is $400 AUD(+/- $15)
I plan to add a discrete graphics card later once I save enough money, probably an RX 580 or similar. I will add an ssd, and upgrade the ram to 8gb, and upgrade the CPU to a ryzen 5

I would like your opinion on these components. What settings would I be able to play games ans what FPS rates would I get. are there any improvements I could make within the budget?

I am buying my components from pccasegear.com and umart.com.au. All prices are in AUD

Thanks for the help

I don't think the AM4 A-series are overclockable...I'm not sure about that. What I'm sure about is that no one should buy those CPU's, they are ass. Get a Ryzen 2200G with Asrock b450m Pro4 and upgrade to dual channel RAM as soon as possible.

You're going to want an R3 2200G at minimum, probably with an ASrock Pro4 motherboard, the board you have doesn't even have VRM heatsinks.

Don't need the extra fans, just wait to buy the case if you gets you a better CPU/GPU

and just get a case that actually has airflow.

And you need dual channel 3000mhz RAM for an APU to run well

Dunno the limits of the AUS part picker.

Basically don't waste your money on a sub par PC and then try to upgrade it later, best to start with something decent.

Thanks for your help. Do you think I should get a B350-pro4 or a B450-pro4?  @Streetguru

Whatever's cheaper, the B350 board probably has an updated bios, the B450 will work for sure. The ATX B450 board also has display port for free-sync. Only worth it if you're buying a monitor with the PC or need to upgrade your current one ASAP.
