Post Body

Hi!, this is my first time building a PC, and I have absolute no idea of what I'm doing.

This is going to be my personal computer, normal everyday use (Although I'm going to be using it like 12 hrs a day) and some occasional gaming (Probably the most ambitious thing I'm looking to run is the witcher 3 in low 720p 25ish fps.). So yeah, not looking for top notch performance just yet, specially since I'm in a budget.

I'm not including a PSU and a Case because I already have those and are actually pretty decent.

Note: Actual final price is like 300$ since the motherboard is like 50$ ish, can't provide exact number since I'm from mexico and prices may vary. My actual budget is a little under 300$ (I mean just for these parts, cpu, gpu, motherboard, storage and ram)

Is it ok for what im looking for? I know it probably won't be able to run any "recent" games, but right now I'm using a laptop with Mobile Intel 4 express so god knows how many years of games I have to go through before actually reaching "recent" games.

Any criticism, advice or anything would be very appreciated.
