I'm also looking to build my first PC. My budget is $600-800, but a little wiggle room is available. I've done some research and this is my tentative build. I think everything I've picked is compatible but I wanted to get some feedback anyway in case there were any issues I wasn't aware of.
AMD Ryzen 5 1600
MSI Ryzen B350 ATX Motherboard (CPU + MB bundle = $275 after $30 bundle promo)
Ballistix DDR4 1 x 8GB DDR4 $60 - I plan on adding another later.
WD 1TB 7200 HDD $50
Total before tax: $727
I also have a 500GB SSD from my laptop that I was planning on moving to the desktop, so I would only need an adapter instead of buying a new SSD. Also, I'm pretty much just going for a 1080p build, maybe 2K if i feel like getting such a monitor. But I'm not really interested in 4K so I don't need that.
Let me know what you all think and if you have any suggestions. I've never built a computer so this is new territory for me, and any feedback is welcome.
Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.
Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash
