Need help picking parts
I'm Tori. Interested in building my first pc but not quite sure what works good together, here is one of many ideas. I have given myself a budget of $500 but I went over that. I want to be able to plate Fortnite, Rocket league, and possibly stream on twitch. My first idea was a AMD- Ryzen 3 3200G.
AMD - Ryzen 5 5600G Cezanne 3.9GHz 6-Core AM4 Boxed Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler
ASRock B450M Pro4 AMD AM4 microATX Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Gaming 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL16 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit BL2K8G36C16U4B - Black
Lian Li LANCOOL 205M Mid-Tower Chassis Micro ATX Computer Case PC Gaming Case with Tempered Glass Side Panel, Magnetic Dust Filter, Water-Cooling Ready, Side Ventilation, 2 x 120mm PWM Fan Pre-Installed - Black
PowerSpec - 650 Watt 80 Plus Bronze ATX Semi-Modular Power Supply Active PFC SLI Crossfire Ready Gaming PC Computer Switching PSU
WD - BLACK 500GB SN750 SE PCIe Gen 4 x 4 SSD Internal Gaming SSD, Up to 3,600MB/s Read Speed

Greetings. $500 would be quite low for any sort of gaming or streaming build unfortunately. If you're looking to pick out parts but not quite sure what direction or price range you are in yet, I'd suggest looking over our guide for choosing parts at: https://community.microcenter.com/discussion/3311/how-to-choose-parts-for-your-custom-computer-build/p1

Yeah, your budgets too low for a gaming pc. Your build here is alright and can handle 1080p low gaming. Just one thing, you don't need a pcie 4.0 drive as ryzen 5000Gs APUs don't support pcie 4.0. I would advise you to grab the crucial p5 1tb currently on sale for $100 at bb. If you are really short on budget, then get a 250 gb m2 drive for boot drive and 4tb hdd for storage.

That looks fine for rocket league and fortnight. Good point by yingdong about pcie 3 instead of 4; that will save some $$ and honestly you won't be able to tell the difference.
