My CPU is intel pentium g4560

I dont know a whole lot about PCs and this is my first time building.

i want to know if my parts are all compatible since i found ppc to not be fully trustable, so i wanted more word on whether or not everything is all good. Also i dont know which case i should pick.

Open to suggestions.

Is it compatible? Yes.
Is it good? No.

Several generation old GPU that is horribly over priced. You can get a GTX 1050/1050Ti for a similar price. Horrible quality PSU. Motherboard and RAM are a little over priced also IMO.

What is your full budget for the entire system, including CPU and case?
What do you have already, if anything?
Do you need a monitor? If not, what monitor(s) are you using with this system?
What exactly will you be using this system for?

Budget would be AT MAX $600 but id like to keep it a bit lower if possible.

Uncle is giving me an old LCD 17in monitor.

System is a budget gaming PC getting as much performance as I can without breaking the bank. Also without overclocking since I dont know how to deal with all that.

Also in terms of pricing, im not using the ppc pricings. Just using ppc to organize up all the parts.

And for the GPU, yeah i gues i could go for the 1050. about the same price so why not.

Operating System: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($30.00)
Monitor: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($99.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $628.70

If you must buy your OS, get a key from G2A, Kinguin, or /r/microsoftsoftwareswap for <$30. Otherwise just get your OS for free, which would put you right at $600.

17" LCD sounds like a shitty old 1280x1024 monitor, which is why I included a nice new 1080p, 75Hz monitor with Freesync. I've also included an SSD for your OS and a game or 2. As for the GPU, the RX 560 is mostly a placeholder. You could get a 2GB model for $30 less, but I'd recommend getting a used GPU. I'd recommend an R9 280(x), R9 285, R9 380(x), or even an HD7950/7970. You should be able to get one of those for $100-150, and you should really be aiming for an AMD GPU with the Freesync monitor. Otherwise, just grab a cheap 1050Ti.
