Changed the PSU, MOBO and CPU.

the 3100 prices are a bit weird right now, they should be around $100. 

 

fitted in a better SSD, Mobo, GPU, and PSU, the case has better airflow, though getting another fan for intake is recommended.

Board is much worse than the DS3H, at least that one actually has a VRM heatsink.

If you can find the ryzen 3 3100 for under $115 then go for that one and swap that gpu out for a 5500xt (make sure its the 8GB version) or the 1660 super
