Ryzen needs faster memory in dual channel mode. If 16gb (2x8gb) isn't in the budget, buy 2x4gb sticks of 3000mhz or higher.

By an SSD for the operating system. At least 250gb. Samsung 860 Evo are decently priced at the moment.

Get a better PSU such as a Corsair cx450m. Apparently the EVGA BT is really noisy, and most of EVGAs B? units aren't very good anyway.

35dBA at 100W-150W and 40dBA at 250W+ load will be the loudest thing in the system.

He's using one of them, not 4. A single RX570 is about 150W power draw under load off the top of my head.

That's not very good either. Swap it out for something a bit better such as the Asrock Ab350m Pro4/B450m Pro4 or if you want to stick with MSI at least the MSI Mortar

Again, Trying to stay around $600, I’ll try and get a better PSU than a BT, but can Ryzen still run with less than 3000mhz RAM?

You'll want 3000 on either AMD or Z-series for Intel. 2666 is fine for both platforms, but 3000 is optimal. We're talking 2-3% total in Gaming and nothing in most Compute tasks.

 

Any 6 core part really needs Dual Channel memory. You get memory system bottlenecks the instant you load up more than about 8 threads. (4 Gb x 2 sticks is fine if that's the budget to deal with.)

It will work fine, 2666MHz will be fine if on a strict budget. Tried to get this down to around $600 for you with still making the changes to the RAM, PSU, motherboard, and adding SSD.

Ah, yeah I wasn't paying attention to that. 4GB VRAM should be fine for 1080p gaming though, but since there's not a huge price difference between the two models if you can stretch the budget a bit then you can grab an 8GB variant.
