Hi, I am planning on building a PC for game development, 3D modeling, and programming. 

 

Here is my list so far :

 

I need the build to have Wifi and needs to be around $770. I live in the US, if that helps.

 

What do you guys think? Thanks for checking out my post!

The motherboard is way overkill for the CPU you have. You could save an easy $100 and get a MSI B450 Tomahawk instead. Then you could also use the extra money to get a larger SSD if you wanted. Otherwise everything looks good.

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks for responding! The MSI B450 Tomahawk does not have Wifi, and I need it to have Wifi because my parents do not have wired internet in the house.

 

Is there anything else I could do to improve this plan?

Buy a USB WiFi or internal WiFi adapter. They're only $25-35, so you'd still be saving at least $50.
