Hey guys, I’ve got a chance to have a cousin bring me some parts from the US back home

I've decided to upgrade my old rig, so I'm keeping just these:

NZXT Lexa case

650W Power Supply, LC POWER Silent Giant GREEN POWER LC6650GP3 V2.3, 140mm fan.

1000.0 GB Hard Drive, Western Digital Caviar Black, SATA3, 64MB cache, 7200rpm, for desktop

I'd grab the processor, GPU, and 16GB of RAM through Amazon.com

The rest (motherboard, 256GB NVMe M.2 SSD, and a CPU cooler if needed) I'll just pick up at a local US shop

I pulled some prices for the stuff I can actually snag on Amazon.com

Intel Core i5-8600K desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.3 GHz unlocked LGA 1151 300 Series 95W [$567]

Intel Core i5-8400 desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 300 Series 65W [$403]

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler - YD260BBAFBOX [$360]

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) [$277]

Patriot Viper gaming RGB Series DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz 16GB Kit - Black - RGB Color Profiles [$307]

I'm looking for the best bang for my buck, but if one part gives a massive performance boost, I might consider bumping up the budget.

Which three components should I go for?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey, I need some help here. Can you guys give me an estimate?

8GB DDR3 RAM, single 1x8GB stick

650W PSU, LC POWER Silent Giant GREEN POWER LC6650GP3 V2.3, with a 140mm fan.

PCI-E Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6870 graphics card, 1GB DDR5, HDMI, DVI, mDP, HDTV, lite retail. Local pickup in [City Name]: DM me if interested.

NZXT Lex S case, MIDI, black with plexi side panel, no PSU included.

1TB hard drive, Western Digital Caviar Black, SATA3, 64MB cache, 7200rpm, desktop grade.

ASUS DRW-24B3LT/BLK/G/AS DVD±RW, 24x, SATA, Dual Layer, LightScribe, black, retail version.

ASUS M4A77TD motherboard, AMD 770/SB710 chipset, DDR3, audio, G-LAN, S-ATA, RAID, PCI-E, ATX, AM3 socket.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition processor, AM3 socket, 3.4GHz, 8MB cache, Quad Core.

Hey guys,
I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to building a PC, so I need some help here. 🙂

Shopping - I'd rather hit up Best Buy or some other local shop in Cleveland.
I don't care about how the case looks; just give me something cheap and functional.

Purpose: Gaming, depending on the price. It doesn't have to run everything on ultra settings.
Medium quality is totally fine with me.

Ideally, I'm looking for: a 120GB SSD for the OS and basic apps
8GB of DDR4 RAM
a cheap DVD drive 😁

Thanks in advance. If I think of anything else, I'll drop it in the thread.
