Hows my build? (lowest budget for medium high 1080p gaming) need recommendation for more cost saving options!

i5 8400 - 799 (cant cut this, basic)
Kingston d4 8gb - 259 (4gb enough?)
Crucial bx500 120gb - 99 (kingston 89?)
gigabyte b360m d2v - 339 (got cheaper mobo?)
zotac 1060 3gb amp core - 949(cheapest 1060? I heard mini version got alot heating issues)
hexa+ 500w -159 (got cheaper with good quality?)

total 2604 (trying to squeeze more!)

Dont expect more when you want to pay less

8GB is bare minimum these days. Gigabyte H310M-S2 and MSI H310M Pro-VD is around RM249

Low budget means low quality SSD.

Sapphire RX580 4GB at RM799 or less from C-Zone or lelong.

And again, low budget means less quality components. FSP is the best at this price. There are better but budget issue.

I plan to build a new PC without the GPU and HDD

Ryzen 5 2600
Asrock b450m Pro 4
Kingston hyper x fury 8gbx2 2666hz
Coolermaster MWE 500w
Kingston SSD 240gb
Armaggeddon T1G pro (Casing)

Components that will be re-use:
Zotac GTX1070
HDD WB 500gb

is it ok with the current spec?
need opinion because gonna buy it

Get Samsung 860 Evo 250gb which is a better SSD. It's insanely cheap right now. Other than that, looks good. Can opt for higher ram speed too if you have extra budget.

thank you for fast reply
what do you mean by higher ram speed?
mean higher frequency?
i have extra budget

Sims 4 is hardly challenging

For your preference:
Chassis: CM MasterBox MB600L (189)
Monitor: Dell 24 Monitor: SE2419H (529)

Other parts:
CPU: ATHLON 200GE (235) or Ryzen 3 2200G (452)
Mboard: GIGABYTE A320M-DS2 (269)
RAM: DDR4-2666 8GB (around RM300) Make sure it is compatible! https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-A32...-10#support-doc
PSU: CM MWE 450W (189)
SSD: SAMSUNG 860 EVO 250GB (275)
HDD: Any brand 1TB (170-185)

Total so far is around RM 2200 if you choose Athlon and RM 2400 if you choose Ryzen

Pair up with decent keyboard (not gaming one) would still be below RM 2500

Performance of Vega 8 in Ryzen 2200G compared against GTX 560Ti (better than GTX650 in requirements):

Thank you so much! Will look into the GPU further.

Yeahhh. Like 3000mhz/3200mhz.

How can one determine quality besides brand dominance in the market? Are there several good & independent sites you use to educate us on this sir?

http://www.jonnyguru.com for power supply reviews. Highest quality is full high grade Japanese capacitors with good build quality.

oh yeah, Tristan.. I was wondering if the NZXT H500 would be good? or Meshify C would be a better choice than the NZXT?
was looking for a white chassis

If meshify c u need to make sure the gpu have enough clearance. Airflow wise, meshify c beat the h500
