Hey everyone, looking for some advice on a new setup that could last me the next few years. I need it to handle pretty much everything—from surfing the web to running the Adobe suite, and maybe some gaming on the side. Also, if you have any solid recommendations for a decent 23"+ monitor, let me know.

Budget for the tower and monitor is around $1,100.

The ASUS Prime B350-Plus motherboard, featuring an AM4 socket.
It’s an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 box, 3.2GHz with 16MB, AM4. I guess that's the one.
I guess it’s just a standard 1TB Seagate BarraCuda hard drive. Seems pretty straightforward. $1.25It’s a 3.5", 7200RPM drive with 64MB Cache, SATA3—specifically the Seagate ST1000DM010. I guess it's just your standard hard drive.
The Corsair CX550 from the CX Series—it's an ATX 2.4 unit with 550W. I guess it'll do the job.
G.Skill RipJaws DDR4 16GB kit (2x8GB), PC4-24000U, clocked at 3000MHz with CL15 latency (Part number: F4-3000C15D-16GVGB).
It’s a Sapphire RX560 4 g puls—4GB GDDR5, 128-bit, clock speeds at 1300/1750MHz (part number 11267-15-10G). Just heads up, this one comes in bulk packaging.
The Samsung LS24F350HHUX is a 23.5" FullHD led monitor featuring a PLS panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It offers VGA and HDMI connectivity, a brightness of 250cd/m2, and a 4 ms response time. I guess it covers the basics.
The Zalman R1 mid tower case.
Got some 120GB Kingston UV400 SSDs sitting around—SATA3, model SUV400S37/120G. I’ve got a whole bulk lot available if anyone's interested.

Total: $2.50 AMD.

Got a monitor with FreeSync, and here are the results for the graphics card:

I guess there’s some interesting stuff happening around that 1:57 mark. It seems like a decent breakdown, maybe.
