Consider switching out the following:

 

RAM

MOBO
STORAGE

 

The RAM you have selected isn't going to run well on the selected MOBO anyway, consider looking for some basic Corsair RAM.

 

The motherboard can be switched around for something a little more budget friendly, especially if you don't plan on overclocking or anything of the like. 

 

You could really achieve the same amount of storage with a HDD and an SSD for your OS. Probably wouldn't notice much of a difference anyway.

I'm assuming you're picking that particular processor because of the GPU market? That's really the only other thing that you could save a sizeable amount on. Mind asking what the use-case for the PC is?

Yeah I don’t want to spend a lot on a gpu so I went with the igpu. I would be using it form gaming and school work. Probably apex legends, cod games, battlefield 5, valorant. No streaming or anything.

3200 RAM is too slow, Especially with this CPU, Go with same RAM 3600.

You can get WD Blue SSD For less than that and if u get good airflow case, Stock cooler will be enough I think.

You'll have to resign some bacon in order to compensate I'm afraid.

This but use the stock cooler for the CPU.  I have found the AMD stock coolers do a sufficient job as long as you are not overclocking.

Not hard getting it to 750 but had to sacrifice psu wattage and the board

 

3733 cl17 instead of 4400mhz cl19 since 3733 will work out of the box whereas 4400 will need some tuning to get it working

- downgrade to a B450 board if its cheaper (just looked at the pcpartpicker and holy cow a b550 board for 100$??!)
- you don't need a beefy power supply at the moment, if you want to buy a graphics card later on just replace your temporary power supply
- still didn't hit that price mark yet? well i guess you have to sacrifice the storage (to 512gb if that's fine)

note: according to pcpartpicker, your motherboard may require a bios update to use that APU.
please check if you can go to a physical store/computer service center and if that physical store/computer service center have a spare cpu to update the bios before buying! or if the seller can update it for you then tell the seller!
