First build $800 USD Budget

[Awesome9374]

Building my first pc for gaming and schoolwork any suggestions would help. I came up with this configuration after a few hours of research and would like some help if it is not very good. Thanks

The only think I recommend is changing the PSU to a nicer one. Otherwise, this should be a great 1080p PC.

Some changes, better CPU, better PSU and mobo..

Zen+ reaches higher frequencies, and will typically be better for gaming and lightly threaded applications. 

The PSU is a significant downgrade. From mediocre to garbage. 

The motherboard uses the same 3 phase VRM, so not an upgrade. 

 

The build by @Herman McpootisMcpootis (damn that bug again) is better. Though I would consider swapping the RAM for two 1x8GB 3000MHz Aegis kits.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Probably shouldn't tag random people to test that.
