Dear community,

I am planing to start with GPU mining of Bitcoin Gold (not only for profit but mainly to keep the ledger strong).
I chose this configuration (with <1k$ budget). Any comments on improvement are highly appreciated.

Case
PCS GENESIS G1B CASE + SD CARD READER
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad Core CPU (3.1GHz-3.4GHz/10MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard
ASUS® PRIME A320M-K: Micro-ATX, AM4, USB 3.0, 6GB/s
Memory (RAM)
4GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2133MHz (1 x 4GB)
Graphics Card
8GB AMD RADEON RX 580 - HDMI, 3 x DP - DX® 12
1st Hard Disk
120GB KINGSTON UV400 2.5" SSD, SATA 6 Gb (550MB/R, 350MB/W)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 350W VS SERIES VS-350 POWER SUPPLY

If you are planning for future mining expansions, you must choose a decent high watts rating PSU and motherboard with more PCIE slots, z270 series or PROBTC boards will do, and also you don't need basically such powerful CPU as you are aiming for GPU mining rigs.

for 1k$ at least you could have 2 GPU's rig on it. exclude the case, you can do open air mining rigs instead.
