Help: New budget rig to replace a RIP 4-year comp

Hi all

Recently my 4-year comp just died on me. Power on and only the led lights got turned on but the comp just wont boot up.

Read a few threads here and shortlisted the components below. Mainly for watching videos and gaming (dota2, wow, overwatch). Need advice on the new rig setup. Budget $1,100. Thanks!

Casing: tecware F3 or Tecware edge

CPU: AMD Ryzen R5 1600

Mobo: Asus Prime B350M-A or Gigabyte AB350M Gaming-3 or Asrock ab350M pro 4

RAM: Kingston Value 2133MHz 8GB or Kingston HyperX 2400MHz 8GB

PSU: FSP Hyper K 80+ 500W

HDD: WD Blue 1TB

GPU: Zotac GTX 1050 2GB or Zotac GTX 1060 3gb mini

OS: Win10 (carousell)

Monitor: Dell SE2717H or HP 27ES

Would it be better to get a monitor with built in speakers or purchase it separately?

Monitor with built in speakers = not good enough for most people, even for casual gamers.

Any half decent budget speakers $60-100 range and onwards will sound significantly better than stock monitor speakers. That said, I don't think a lot of monitors have built in speakers. Only a small %.

Get the faster ram and try to push for a good quality PSU. You'll see it's worth it when your whole system doesn't fry and all your parts die

If got budget I suggest upgrade to a 1060 instead. (Not sure if prices now are inflated due to the ethreum mining craze though)

Nvr use SE2717H before, but as a monitor brand I prefer Dell over Hp
