Hello, I am a first time PC builder and i have been trying to make a good budget computer that can handle stuff like schoolwork and light gaming. I have put together a computer here 

The stuff that has a changed price I either already have or am getting from friends, I have all the needed peripherals, such as a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. and a windows 10 install disc. I would like to get input on things that i should change/ get somewhere else. Thank you, and have a nice day!

Seems good for a homework build, but do not get the ddr4 1030 just to save some money

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

Ditch the graphics card, use this small SSD and supplement your storage with a hard drive later.

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

Infrastructure for good future performance is perhaps out of budget, I was aiming for the cheapest that would be good.

Gotta have an SSD though. It's easier to drop $40 on a hard drive later rather than reinstall Windows on your SSD in a few months.

If OP saved up to afford this it would be ideal, hopefully that's a possibility.

A 120GB SSD is small these days, spend the extra on a 500GB.

All the other ones are good so I'm just gonna add on, first I would suggest dd4, and also dual channel would be useful unless you plan on upgrading.

This would be slightly better but since we don't know when the OP is going the get a 1TB drive, it's better to go straight for a 500GB model.
