Thank you Nadine . The gpu was the best i could find at that price range, i could spend about 30 more for the 8gb version, but i dont think the extra 4gb are going to benefit me a lot. If you have suggestions for a better gpu please share with me.

Better motherboard, better PSU, and better SSD. Also swapped case to save a little cash, but spend the extra 10e for the MasterBox Lite 3.1 if you want.

You could also save 20 euros by swapping the R5 2600 for an R5 1600.

Thanks man , but on the motherboard it says that it supports memory type DDR4-2133 / 2400 / 2666 / 2933 / 3200, but my memory is ddr4-3000 would that make them incompatible? But for some reason the compatibility check comes out fine. Maybe im missing something?

EDIT: Also i just found the same ssd but M.2 instead of 2.5" for 5 euro less, wouldnt that be slightly better?

Your RAM will run at 2133MHz by default with Ryzen anyway, regardless of what RAM you buy. Ryzen does not support 3000MHz as XMP, only 2933MHz or 3200MHz. So with RAM rated for 3000MHz, you should be able to use a 2933MHz XMP profile. I can't remember if AsRock call it D.O.C.P or A-XMP, but look for either of those settings in the BIOS.

Not better, no. If you'd rather save the 5e and use up an m.2 slot, then go for it. It'll perform the same, and is easier to install(I guess? I mean it's not like it's hard to "install" an SSD lol). I'd personally rather the 2.5" version since it's just a SATA SSD anyway, and I'd save my m.2 slots for potential NVMe upgrades in the future. Though, now that I look at it, the B450M Pro4 has 2 x m.2 slots, only 1 of which will support an NVMe SSD anyway so I suppose you might as well just save some cash and get the m.2 MX500.

That's not worth buying. Almost guarantee'd low quality PSU, definitely far lower quality than the Corsair Vengeance unit. Also, shitty A320 motherboard which doesn't support overclocking, and only has 2 DIMM slots. RAM speed is not specified, I'd guess it's 2133/2400MHz which will affect performance with Ryzen. Plus, much lower capacity SSD.

If you really need to get it down to 600 euros, you can save 20e with the R5 1600 like I said;

It makes more sense to have a better system overall than an extra 4GB VRAM IMO. The 4GB RX 580 will be fine if you're playing at 1080p anyway, I'd only really consider the 8GB variant if the price difference was minimal or I was using a resolution greater than 1080p.

I'd get the Patriot RAM instead of the G.Skill stuff. Like I said, Ryzen likes faster RAM. 2933/3200MHz is ideal. Actually, I'd personally probably get this;
de.pcpartpicker.com/product/bQrmP...g4d30besbk
but I'd be adding another 8GB DIMM as soon as possible. If you're not planning on adding RAM fairly soon, then I'd stick with the 2x4GB 3000MHz stuff. Also, the m.2 MX500 has gone up in price, so I'd just swap it for the BX500 at 62 euros. Other than that, all good. Q300L is a good choice, I didn't realise it was as cheap as 40 euros, otherwise I'd have recommended that over the E500L initially tbh.
