Hi so I’m trying to build my pc and I have a complete parts list but I wanted to double check just to make sure I’m getting the most I can for my $800 budget. Here’s the link please give me some feedback: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/AyubArsala/saved/Kb7xGX

Your power supply could use a boost. It might be ok for now, but it won't last through the next upgrade cycle.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

- You don't need a CPU cooler. AMD's included cooler is good enough.

- I would recommend the 2600X over the 1700X, even though its 2 fewer cores. The 2600X performs better.

- You can get 16GB memory for a little bit more, so why not?

- B350 motherboards aren't that great. I would recommend at least a B450 with Ryzen.\

- Also, why get the 1060, when the RX 580 is cheaper and better?

Go for 2600x for the cpu plus no need for heatsink.

Don't buy 1060, buy RX580 instead.

for $10 more you get 2TB hdd.

The SSD is overpriced for that size, should instead get double the storage from an MX500 for the exact same price on Newegg Business:  https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ft8j4D/crucial-mx500-500gb-25-solid-state-drive-ct500mx500ssd1
