Hello, I want to build my 1st PC this year ( hopefully by then end of the year ) and I was trying to build a PC that will match my budget ( around 1000$ ) and also satisfy my needs ( mostly gaming but might use it for other stuff as well in the future ).

Here is what I came up with and if you would be kind enough to give me some opinions about it or even some advice would be great ( just keep in mind that my budget is really limited and that I live in a country that does not offer a ton of different possibilities):

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 with stock cooler
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-AB350-GAMING 3
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050Ti ASUS ROG Strix 4Gb
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2666MHz HyperX HX426C15FBK2/8 (2x4GB)
Storage: SSD SATA3 128GB SiliconPower A55, SP128GBSS3A55S25 ( will add a HDD in the future )
PSU: 550W Cooler Master RS-550-AMAAB1-EU
Case: NZXT S340

Thank you in advance, I really appreciate any help/opinions!

650 B3 is the best among the three although I don't like it if I have a choice... Both GPUs are good choices, if similar price, I will go with the ASUS OC one.

1. I will not recommend that PSU
2. GPU a little bit too weak
3. 8gb is a little bit low
4. SSD is a little bit small

Questions for you:
1. Living in US
2. Need a monitor?
3. What is the other stuff you are talking about?

Answer those will help me fine tune your build.

Thank you for a fast reply.

1. No I don't live in the US, I live in Serbia.
2. Yes I will need a monitor.
3. Well I just want to have a decent PC that I won't need to tweak 'a lot' in years to come. I mostly play e-sport titles so I don't need the best stuff out there.

Once again thank you for the help!

Yes there are some Serbian websites out there, I can send you if you want but all of them are written in Serbian and prices are in Serbian currency. But you are right, some stuff is more expensive here than in the US for example.

Here are some, if you manage to find your way (these are considered the best we have):

Thank you for your advice. It really helps!
Although I have one more question. Is it worth it to invest another 100$ and maybe get a Ryzen 5 1600, or invest those 100$ in something else?

Okay so something like this would be ideal:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB DDR5
MB: Gigabyte GA-AB350M-GAMING 3 ( I changed the MB cuz of the 4 RAM slots it offers )
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2666MHz HyperX HX426C15FBK2/8 (2x4GB)
SSD: 275 GB Crucial MX300 CT275MX300SSD1
PSU: SS-520GB
Case: Thermaltake N26

Total: 111080 ( 1087$ )
Right?

Or would you recommend staying with Ryzen 1200? Is there a notable performance difference between 1200 and 1600?

If for gaming, there will be decent boost but it is harder to change CPU then GPU, mostly for physical reason and messing with cooler, not to mention 6 cores 12 threads compared to 4 cores 4 threads. If you can afford, get 1600. Will be very beneficial for multitasking rendering streaming etc.

Okay, understood. Thank you.
One more thing tho. I was just checking the website and it says that both GPU and PSU are out of stock.
I think I'll be able to find a similar GPU but I am not 100% sure about power supply.

What do you think about Thermaltake 530W Smart SE?

Okay, will do. Give me some time to look them up.

Can you tell me your opinion about these GPUs and this SSD:
GPUs:
- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 6GB DDR5 Gaming GV-N1060G1 GAMING-6GD
- Asus GeForce Expedition GTX 1060 OC 6GB DDR5 EX-GTX1060-O6G ( also the non OC one )

SSD:
- 250 GB Samsung S850 EVO MZ-75E250B

Thank you!

Okay I searched for some PSUs in that price range, around 100$, that are currently available at Serbian market. Can you tell me what do you think about these ones ( it is a Serbian website link but I think you will be able to read stuff that you will need )
http://www.winwin.rs/racunari-i-komponente/racunarske-komponente/napajanja.html?dir=asc&limit=20&order=price&price=8000-12000

I also contacted the store that is out of stock with the one you recommended me earlier, so if they get it soon I'll go for that one!

Also what did you think about those GPUs?
