Also maybe sacrifice wifi?

Try getting windows 10 on Kinguin. Works fine for me

Is the form factor or wifi a must or can I change it?

Would a ryzen 1600 and B350 be faster than this CPU and Mobo combo?

They are all the same at this resolution due to GPU bottleneck

Whichever one is cheaper and looks nicer to you. It makes no difference

Should be able to, mine can

Nice build! I am jealous as I am building a sff computer myself. However, why do you use an APU and also a GPU? It is kind of a waste of the APU IMO

The 2600X boost higher so should be better in game, it comes with a better cooler vs the r5 2600. The mobo is decent and supports newer feature such as boost 2.0, 2 m.2 slot which is not present on older board. I personally don't use HDD because as I said I don't use that much space ( could be just me ). True but it would go out of the budget otherwise Well, the case offers great visual and build quality for a budget. Cheapest gold power supply from brands I trust ( Corsair, Evga, Seasonic, Bequiet )

Well there is nothing better and 3gb of Vram is plenty for 1080p gaming. Also IMO 500GB is fine, I use a 500GB each on both my desktop and laptop and not even used half
