I'm pretty new to building PCs and could use some advice. I'm looking to build a gaming PC for my sister who wants to stream and record her Minecraft gameplay. Currently, her Minecraft crashes a lot, she can't use mods, and she has issues with render distance. Our old PC is just suited for office work and isn't cutting it for gaming tasks.
I've researched a little and came up with a potential build with a $450 budget, especially since I'm based in Pakistan. Here's what I'm thinking:
- Ryzen 5 5600
- GTX 1660 Super (6GB)
- B450/B550 Motherboard
- 16GB RAM (2x8GB, 3200MHz)
- 500GB NVMe SSD
- 1TB HDD
- 550W-650W 80+ Bronze PSU (Corsair/XPG/Cooler Master)
- Mid Tower Case (with at least 3 fans)
Would love to hear any suggestions or changes I should make to this build!

You might not need that 1TB HDD. I suggest focusing on getting good used parts. Everything else looks solid for your sister's needs!
Which parts are safe to buy used? If I skip the 1TB HDD, would a 500GB SSD be enough?
