I need opinions on my build

[ITzSenpai]

Alright so I'm a senior in high school and this build will be payed for by my parents as a graduation gift for myself. This will be my first ever pc build and I just wanted to know if theres anything I should change without drastically increasing the price (I don't want my parents spending too too much on me considering our financials)

Ryzen 2600, faster RAM, why the optical drive?

[emosun]

have you ever built a machine before becuase i never recommend peoples first pc building experience cost 1100 dollars

usually you build a couple of free computers first

Yea, you definitely need faster ram, 3000mhz to 3200mhz should be fine. I would also get the 2600X for a better case and RAM.

I have a few pc games that are in disc form plus the optical drive doesnt break the bank.

I don't agree with this at all, unless the person doesn't have much hands on experience.

 

My first build was more than this.
