Budget Gaming Setup

Already posted this on another thread, but reposting on new thread as other thread seems abandoned.


Thinking of building a PC for the first time in ard 2 months, wanted to see if this was a good list to work off, Budget Inc Monitor KB+Mouse is ard 950sgd, prefer to stay below 900, will be used to browse chrome, use office and games like minecraft, tf2, Overwatch etc.
Here is a drafted list,
APU+Mobo:Ryzen 3 3200g+Gigabyte B450m-DS3H-249(Laser Distribution)
RAM: 2×4gb G.Skill Ripjaws 2666mhz-68(Laser Distribution)
Storage:256gb Adata XPG SX6000 Lite 256gb-58(Best Bargain)
PSU: EVGA GD 550w(80 Plus Gold)-100(Dynacore)
Case:Tecware Nexus M-45(Dynacore)
RGB Fan: Tecware Arc Spectrum f2-19(ViiPC)
GPU:Used rx 570 with warranty~130-140(Carousell/Hardwarezone Bazaar)
Wifi: TPLink Archer t4u-29(Dynacore)
Monitorrism+ w240-159
Keyboard:Tecware Phantom 87 Key-52(ViiPC)
Mouse: Logitech G102-29(Logitech Official Store on Lazada)

Total:938-948 SGD (Depending on GPU Cost)

Any recommendations to cut cost or improve would be much appreciated.
Just a few questions:
-Are there any stores still selling new Ryzen 5 1600?
-If not, is it better to buy a used R5 1600 as compared to 3200g?
-Would a EVGA BV Bronze 500w for 69 Dollars, Coolermaster Masterwatt Bronze 550w for 79 Dollars or Superflower Leadex Eco Silver 500w for 88 Dollars be better value than the EVGA GD 550w while still being reliable?
-How noticeable is performance diff between ssd in the list and something like Lexar NM100 or WD Green SATA SSDs?
-Would it be cheaper to buy all parts except gpu from 1 shop(Dynacore) and try to bargain for lower price?

Please refer to the thread posted above. People put effort into writing guides to make sure we don't need a whole new thread every time someone asks the same question.

Also, so me of your components make no sense.

Why get a G CPU if you're getting a discrete GPU?

Why use slower SSDs? Why are you getting a rojak of parts from various unrecommended shops?

>Ethan1406> You did your home work quite well, you seem to forget about the OS, a copy of win10 home oem cost $138, you need to adjust your parts / budget a bit for the OS.

if yours is a budget build just settle for a bronze PSU instead of a gold one. i bought a 500W FSP Hyper K for $55 ($46 after discount) and it's working just fine
Lexar is a pretty new brand so i'd rather stay clear of it. if you consider ur data to be impt maybe u can crucial mx500 (for about $10 more)

can just use the unactivated version or get a cheap copy from lazada/taobao

Sorry, never see this guide as I only saw the thread that was stickied and is practically abandoned, will ask questions in the thread you linked in future
