    From what I've been reading from the comment/suggestions i might be going this route but nothing is set in stone. This is what i'm thinking for my build:
    CASE: NZXT H510i (already have)
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
    GPU: RX 580 8GB
    MOBO: msi mpg b550 gaming edge wifi
    PSU: either a 450w - 650w something that is full modular
    STORAGE: 500GB or 1TB SSD, maybe an m.2 style SSD
    MEMORY: G.SKILL FLARE X series 16GB (2X8GB) (for amd)

    I'm a noob when it comes to building a computer since all of the pc's that i've owned have been pre-built.

    I might be going in the way of intel instead of amd for my cpu.

    GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE AX AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard $169.99 or MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard $189.99 both come with wifi and support ryzen 5 3600 cpu.

    just watch LTT... He's done so many builds! Which build should he watch? The slowest brand new one? The fastest computer ever? Honestly, just watch secret shopper and buy an iBuyPower.

    looks like i'll be going in the route of buying a pre-built computer for one reason the graphics card since most of them are out of stock in store and online and having to wait to see if the prices will eventually go down. a lot of the pre-built pc's i'm seeing are more on the intel side and less for the amd side for the processor. so it would look it would be intel but i would prefer amd as my cpu.

    Yeah I told you, buy an iBuyPower! Their build quality is good, and if you saw secret shopper it survived Sarah yanking out the GPU.

    Looks decent, but do you know what motherboard it has? Sometimes these computers have really cheap and terrible motherboards.

    iBuyPower usually ships good motherboards, it is usually an ASUS motherboard.

    You'll also need a monitor if you don't have one already.
