Help me choose parts for my first ever build

CrisM

Hello everyone

I'm looking forward to my first ever PC build in February 2022 or later. My budget is around 700 - 800 just for the PC only and If i include monitor and keyboards etc so i can go till $1000. I'm building this system for games and some adobe functions mostly Premier Pro video software

Games include GTA V as I will play that more than any other game. If anyone can help me out in 2 to 3 builds in my range.

Well after a quick youtube research i managed to make something like this : https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=5d890dff-611f-4635-b080-d037c7c18a39

Haven't added GPU yet nor HDD as i think for now i'm good for 500 gb SSD

You'd probably want to use m2 nvme drive instead of sata 2.5'' ssd. Sata ssds are capped at ~560mb/s while m2 nvme drive can go over to 3500mb/s. 5000 series apu doesn't feature pcie4.0 so it would be better to go with b450 board especially you are on budget, it's cheaper while getting the jobs done just as fine. I put up this build for you to maximize the price to performance value:

If you feel it's too pricy, kick out the 1650, the vega 8 still works fine and still gives you the option to upgrade to a better gpu.

That's the good build you did! Can you add a suitable monitor and keyboard to it which can touch maximum till $1050 or $1100
