Damn did you get almost the lowest end PSU that EVGA makes

[The_DTEGamer]

I left plenty of room to upgrade down the road and also wanted to keep a nice budget. Plus I'm brand new to the pc world, so forgive any oddities.

Nice. My system I've spent about the same amount on but I have 16GB of 2666mhz SkHynix DDR4, a Ryzen 3 2200G OCed to 3800mhz, a R9 Fury overclocked to 1115mhz, a thermaltake cybertron prebuilt pc case, 250gb hdd, 500gb hdd, 128gb nvme 2 lane ssd. 1 120mm cheapo blue led fan. I also used an overkill AsRock X470 SLI/AC motherboard. So my system is stronger graphics wise but weaker cpu wise.

Oh and an 850 watt Rosewill Photon 80+ gold fully modular power supply. My system does not look nearly as pretty though.

That sounds like an awesome setup! I do a little video editing with Premiere Pro as well as gaming, so i wanted a good balance between the two

I do video editing as well. I haven't yet got the CPU I want for my machine (2700x) because the coronovirus has made the price of the 2700x skyrocket to over $200 which is really annoying because I don't want to buy a Ryzen 5 3600.

Yah I was about half way through purchasing parts when everything started getting more expensive on Newegg. Luckily the Micro Center close to me still had most of the good prices still listed.

Unfortunately there is no Microcenter around here so I'm not quite that lucky.

Yeah but best buy is REALLY overpriced 99% of the time

Looks nice!
I would have skipped the $50 in fans and either bought a bigger SSD or a better case. Maybe a decent cooler.

very true. what sucks is shipment is taking twice as long for everything and im stuck finding a computer store but best buy is always an option. not the best. but an option.
