Hey I'm planning to build a pc and I've done some research on my parts but I'm unsure sure whether or not it is okay as a budget Gaming PC and what sort of PSU should I get for this system.

 

Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3.1 TG

CPU: Intel i5-8400

Motherboard: ASRock B360M Pro4 mATX

GPU: MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X 4G

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) 2400MHz DDR4 Black

SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB M.2 SSD

PSU: ???

 

Please help a noob like me out ?

Thank you!

I would go with a grey-label CX (2017) model. The 500B is pretty bad

I'd suggest a single stick of 2666/3000mhz 8GB RAM, so you can upgrade in the future to dual channel 16GB

Why? The board has 4 RAM slots
