Hi guys, I'm currently building a new system slowly as I can't afford to just go and buy it all at once. I've currently got the motherboard and processor(Ryzen 5 1600 and Gigabyte Gaming 5), plus I will throw my current GPU in there too(RX480) but I'm really struggling to complete my build as funds are not exactly there to throw away, and I'm not exactly up-to-date with the latest tech.
My first question is this: Would 8GB of memory be sufficient for a gaming system and if so, do you recommend any specifically? I don't want to completely skimp out but I don't want to over spend either. Anything under £140 would be preferred.
Second question: I'm absolutely useless at PSU's, so I'm just wondering if this would suffice for a gaming rig?

I don't intend to run dual GPU's or overclock anything.
Third question: SSD's - I've never had one, so know nothing about them - I would like a 500GB one if it's cheap enough, but I can settle for a 250GB for the time being and add more at a later date.
For those wondering about a potential budget, I don't have one. It's more of what I can spend at the time so I understand if this gets a little difficult.
Thanks in advance, the help is much appreciated.
