So I am planning on building my own PC soon for the first time and I have a budget of 800 euros (900 euros max) [874-983 USD]

My friends on discord and I were messing around and this is what we came up with, can yall tell me if this is good or if I should change to a different plan

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 TI (Maybe A GTX1060 6G)
SSD: Crucial MX500 500GB
HDD: WD Blue 2TB
PSU: Pure Power 11 500W 80+ Gold
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8G:cool: DDR4 3200 MHz
Mobo: ASUS Prime X570-P Mainboard Sockel AM4
Case: Thermaltake V200 Tempered Glass RGB Edition
This PC is supposed to be for Programming, editing, recording, and Minecraft (Don't really have time or enjoy other games)



EDIT:
Thanks to the comments I have made a few changes

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor 8GB
(I will upgrade the GPU in the future but atm I don't think ill be able to afford that)
SSD: Crucial MX500 500GB
HDD: WD Blue 2TB
PSU: Pure Power 11 500W 80+ Gold
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200 MHz
Mobo: MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max
(Might change to a B550 if they come out and fit in the budget)
Case: Thermaltake V200 Tempered Glass RGB Edition

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Ayy that’s similar to the build I’m planning to get. I suggest you switch out the MoBo for a B450 and upgrade your GPU to a rx5700 or rtx2060 (rx5700 is better for gaming but for productivity go with the 2060)
Okay so I'm extremely stupid lmao I thought i was replying to a different thread I'm so sorry I feel so stupid right now.

Then swap the mobo for an msi Tomohock MAX. Max boards are the refreshed b450s from msi that support zen 2 out of the box. There are non-max varients, and you don't want those unless you want to do a bios flashback to update your mobo and add zen 2 support. That pretty much means you have to download the latest bios from msi's site from the mobo page and stick it on the clearly labeled usb port and update it. b450s can support zen 2, you just need a board that has bios flashback (as you clearly don't have an older AM4 chip). Anyway, I also strongly recommend dropping x570 for b450. Some rumors are spreading that b550, which also support zen 2 out of the box, may release in Oct though earlier it was predicted to be Q1 2020 so take that with a grain of salt.

For the love of God, drop the 1050ti for a 580 8gb minimum. It'll run you cheaper than a 1050ti, esp. used, and will perform on par with a 1060 6gb. Personally, when I was helping my brother upgrade, I thought the 1660 was enough for a 3600 build with a 1660ti being ideal. Several upgraded variants are coming out at the end of this month for both nvidia and amd though and I'm not keeping track of names anymore for the low end so do your homework for that. Don't be afraid of the used market. My brother ended up with a 2060 for like $250 which is a steal.

You want 3600mhz ram ideally for zen 2, so swap those out if possible. I'd also go for a name brand PSU like EVGA, corsair, or SeaSonic. Try EVGA's midweek madness sale today (Wednesdays).
