Hey, so im building a new pc with a budget of $1000

I'm gonna be casually gaming, overwatch, black ops 4, osu etc.

I currently have a 1050 and i7-4770 PC. (Which im planning to give my brother when i get this pc)

i gotta 144hz monitor already

and i was wondering if this is a good build (I plan to upgrade some parts like upgrade from the stock ryzen cooler further down the road)

Your PSU is a bit overkill, Go with a 650 gold PSU. The money you save on that spend a bit more money on 3200 g skill ripsaw 16gb or ram (only $10-$15) more.

AMD isn't Intel - going for the "X" stuff isn't really going to get you much of a performance benefit. Go non-X 2600 with a 450 chipset. Also faster ram could be tossed in with the savings.

 

If you're going single card, you could downsize the build and get a board with a built in wifi/blutooth module.

 something like this?

also i already have the barracuda 2tb hard drive, i just put it there to make sure it'd all be good. so that saves me like $60ish from the price shown
