The current build is to be less than $400-500

RIght now, theres no cpu and gpu because im supplying them free (AMD RYZEN 3 2200G and GTX 1060 6GB)


Is there anything i should worry about or do once parts arrive and is built/running?
Currently the monitor, keyboard, and mouse is a must, along with wifi. Ethernet is out of the question

Any recommended changes to improve performance whilist bringing the price down?

(This PC is mainly for modded minecraft, sims heavily modded, and other games generally on steam)

Ok, so bin pretty much all of that. The case and PSU are terrible, definitely do not use those.

The motherboard is pretty meh as well, you can get something better for like $10 more, so you really should.

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor (Purchased For $0.00)
Motherboard: ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: ADATA SU635 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($44.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB Founders Edition Video Card (Purchased For $0.00)
Case: Deepcool MATREXX 30 MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($38.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12III 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ Amazon)
Monitor: AOC C24G1 24.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor ($144.99 @ Amazon)
Keyboard: Logitech G213 PRODIGY Wired Gaming Keyboard ($41.49 @ Amazon)
Mouse: Logitech G602 Wireless Optical Mouse ($36.20 @ OutletPC)
Total: $491.62

Get a cheaper kb+mouse if you want. The G602 is a steal for $36 though IMO. I'd use "home plugs" for a wired internet connection instead of using wi-fi, but if you do go for wireless, don't use a USB adapter. Buy a decent $10-20 PCIe wireless adapter if you must. "home plugs" are almost always a better option though, and are the same price anyway.

I'd aim for faster than 2666MHz RAM and personally wouldn't be buying my RAM from "OLOy", but if you wanna save $5 then go ahead.

Case and PSU here are still pretty low quality, but are vastly better than the parts you had in your list and are still budget friendly.

1080p60Hz monitor makes very little sense at this point with how cheap you can get a nice 144Hz monitor these days. Be silly to not spend the extra $45 IMHO, but that AOC monitor you have in your list is decent for a 1080p60Hz monitor. There are a few decent options for a bit less though;

pcpartpicker.com/product/GLm323/a...-sb220q-bi
pcpartpicker.com/product/FrKcCJ/l...22bk430h-b
The HP one obviously being the worst of the bunch, but it's a 1080p60Hz monitor and it's $20 cheaper than the AOC monitor so if you're just looking to cut costs, I'd definitely be looking at the HP 22eb.
