This is what i would be looking at

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/pK7vxG

I would look to buy a windowns 10 pro key online, ive seen legit ones for 11$ on the grey market. ive never had a problem using them.

The only possible issue is the motherboard may need a bios update before it will run the 2600 but its worth the risk for the better sound chip youll get(best to check it has the latest bios on it before they ship it some place will check for u), you wont even notice the advanced power features youll lose from the 4xx chipsets.

the rx 470 is basically a rx 570 just rebranded so save the $30.
the 1TB ssd is more than enough storage for a few games and will be much faster then some of the hybrid options give here.
ddr4 3200 memory is the sweet spot for the ryzen 2xxx chips(price/peformance)
and a good quality PSU.
Also i included a silent case i consider it a must if the pc is in a bedroom.

its what i would look to build and its similar to the pc i currently have
hope it helps

Gone a bit over but postage is only $17 - $24 and you can pick up a windows 10 key off Ebay for around $10

PS in Aus you will be paying around 15$ or so postage from each different store you buy from ! so you have to factor in that into prices from pcpartpicker from multiple stores
