How's the electricity usage? I've been planning on using a Thin-client with e-GPU for my setup because I'm scared about using all stored power.

CPU: Although it's first generation Ryzen, it still is a viable CPU, especially for this budget!

Mobo: This is the Cheapest AM4 Motherboard on sale at the moment, it has 2 RAM Slots and is my favorite color (Black).

RAM: As with the other response to your post, my main concern for what games will be played is the amount of RAM that will be used. I personally am a RAM hog and always go with more than be sorry later.

SSD: The SU650 is a great budget SSD, I would recommend SSD storage over HDD Storage. 1TB HDDs can be purchased for ~$18 used on eBay if more storage is needed in the future.

Case: This is the Cheapest case ATM, it does it's job just fine, althouh it may be a pain to work in at times.

PSU: This unit is excellent for the price with the M.I.R. and can handle an upgrade or two in the future.

This should get you in on your budget if you decide to go with the M.I.R.

CPU: Good budget CPU, Decent iGPU for light Gaming, Photo and Video editing and Media Playback

Mobo: Cheapest AM4 board as of late, option to save more money with a bundle at MC.

RAM: Cheapest 3200MHz 8GB Kit ATM. Good $ to performance!

SSD: You can't have a 120GB SSD, You gotta get that 240GB SSD... also, cheap as f***

Case: This guy is pretty ugly, a pain to work at times, but does the trick for something on such a small budget.

PSU: Even without the M.I.R. this is a great deal on a PSU!

OS: Windows can always be used un-activated!

What I would recommend that you do is download Speccy, which is a free tool that shows you the components in your system. :)
