Looks fine, might wanna get a Hyper 212 EVO or Arctic Freezer 33 eSports ONE since the stock Intel cooler is loud as hell sometimes.

As a super budget build, it's solid, but how about getting a 1050 ti off eBay and spending more on power supply? Getting a nice high quality unit like a Corsair CX550M is a sure way to protect your stuff

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Why the cooler? Especially when your board does not support overclocking being as it's a 310 chipset. You could just go with the stock cooler included.

Also how about going for a used video card of the 1060 or 1050 lines. Maybe you have local listing selling them for cheap on your end.

an RX 570 is the same price and much cheaper. get rid of the cooler and use the money for a ryzen 2600+B350 Pro4 from newegg instead.
