    I am looking to finally build my own PC since I recently got a job. This what my friend recommended me for a build. My budget is $400-$600

    In your part list, you have the old model of the Seagate Barracuda 1TB. The newer one is not only better, but cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barr...F8&qid=1499567027&sr=1-3&keywords=seagate+1tb. Everything else seems pretty good and I wouldn't change anything else. Ryzen 5 provides great value and you don't wanna cheap out on your PSU (not only for efficiency and safety, but future capacity for any upgrades).

    lmao don't go with a Pentium processor please, that's = to putting a potato for a gaming PC CPU

    If anything I like the build so far, buuttt I kinda prefer Intel better.
    But hey AMD has really good gaming CPU's and that one you have is pretty good.
    Also for Virus protect >AVG >Maleware Bytes. (You're going to need it, Norton and those others shit "anti"-virus programs are horrible)

    Also the GTX 1050 Ti is a much better pick than what you have there as a GPU...

    Also when did RAM chips go up in price? Good god, anyway don't bust 79$ on 8GB of RAM when you can bust
    https://www.amazon.com/Gloway-2400M...8&qid=1499578862&sr=8-4&keywords=8gb+ram+ddr4
    for 50$ and the same amount of RAM

    Overall my opinion.
    :p

    EDIT:
    Also uh if you can still find it, GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB DDR5 is out there for 120$. Idk if they actually fully raised the price now, but I got mine for 120$ :p Look on Amazon, they have pretty good deals with the GTX 1050 Ti that're brand new and also sold by EVGA/Nvidia.

    Free version is good as well.
    The full version does extra things p much.
    Just beware what you download and always scan your dl before you open them
    I was recommendin the free version anyway :p

    AVG isn't the best... you should try Bitdefender AV Free as it has a better anti-virus engine than AVG. Heck, even try Avast.
