i need a new gaming rig and i'm on a budget of $800-900.

Was wondering if these parts will be good for a gaming rig, to pull any game on medium/high setting?

feel free to come with any improvements or change anything that is unnecessary.  

Nah, build this instead (see below for more):

 

 

 

 

 

AMD is a better choice over Intel at this price point. Anyway, a 240mm AIO is overkill for a 6c 6t CPU with a TDP of 65W.  With a budget of 600 or more, it's pretty inexcusable to not get 16 GB or more RAM (it is 2019, after all).

The SSD I picked also has 512MB cache.

The H500 is an OK case, but I would upgrade to a Meshify C for better airflow. There are many posts online and on this forum about the G3, go have a look. 

 

 

If you want to bring the price down a bit, you could get a CX550M and a 240GB SSD instead.

 

This machine will give you a lot more performance than your old list.

 

(Sorry if I was a bit negative in this post)
