Ordering parts for first PC Build. Please Help!

[WinningGram]

Sythe Users,
I really wanted to keep the inital build under $500 as ill still need to buy Windows OS, monitor, and i am assuming some other stuff too. Please look at my part list and tell me what else i need! Anyone’s help is appreciated

I only play rs, so the cpu;s integrated graphics should be fine instead if a actual graphics card right? I also read the stock cpu cooler is good enough. Someone told me that i dont need a hard drive and a 240 ssd would be plenty for all i do (osrs/discord/excel). Also that i maybe should invest into 16gb of ram instead of 8gb.

Heres the intel build i wanted
System Builder - Core i3-8100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core, Carbide Series 88R MicroATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker

was told to not waste money on intel and AMD is as good
System Builder - Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core, MX330 ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker

Hello. In the situation, with Intel CPUs it's better to build an entry gaming PC in the AMD platform.
I edited your AMD list System Builder - Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core, MX330 ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker

First, I changed a CPU to 2400G. It is more powerful and has better graphics. It's much better than integrated Intel graphics.
Second, you don't actually need that CPU cooler. Ryzen 2400G has a quite good stock cooler. This CPU is not that hot, to have a Thermaltake tower on it. You can always upgrade it in the future, but now it's better to stay with stock one.
Third, I changed the RAM to the dual-channel kit with higher frequency. Ryzen loves high freqs of RAM and it works way better with dual-channel memory. Also, you can overclock your memory a little to have even better performance.
Fourth, an SSD. I changed it to Kingston because this manufacturer has better warranty service. I myself have such model but 480 GB.

All the rest is good we are still fitting your budget.

Speaking about monitor and peripherals, you can use your old devices like mouse, keyboard etc.

Go for 2 sticks of RAM, 3000mhz is fine, faster is better but also more expensive. Please do get 2 sticks at at least 3000mhz if you're planing to use the on-board video for your CPU. If you plan to use a dedicated GPU this isn't AS needed but still recommended for AMD builds.
MEH powersupply. 80+ gold for a better PSU, most brands are solid. You don't want to cheap out and have it die on you if you upgrade in the future.

You recommended faster memory yet you link slower memory, ok?
Tiny SSD, is gonna fill up in notime without a HDD to go with it, like in his list.

Yeah, thanks for notice that issue with memory. 3000 MHz I meant.
SSD is tiny, and you're right, but if we add an HDD the total price will be higher than the initial budget. You can always buy an HDD later, it's not a big deal at first.
I think that taking even tinier SSD but with HDD on board is not a good idea. If you have a 120 GB SSD you can only install Windows, maybe Office plus several apps and one game like GTA V. There won't be enough space for other games. By the way, installing games on HDD is nonsense IMHO.
I think it's better to start with 240 HDD and after some time to buy HDD if it is really necessary.

I just built a sub-200$ system with a 2200g oc'd to 3875 and 3000mhz ram that can run basically anything on high at 900p and a lot of games at 1080p.
