What do you think of this (budget) gaming build?

[berderder]

Budget (including currency): $600 - $1,000

Country: U.S.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Some relatively newer strategy games, indie games, and occasionally modern triple AAA open world RPG's (probably not with maxed out settings). But I am also enjoying my backlog of games going back to 2015-2017-ish.  I won't be doing any streaming, photo/video editing, etc

Other details   

This build brought to you by a PC Part Picker build guide (Great Intel Gaming Build) with some modifications:

• I have 16GB of DDR3 RAM I'd like to hold onto. The build included is a DDR4 mobo. Do you recommend a newer DDR3 supporting mobo?
• I will be using my pre-existing RX 580 4GB for a couple of more years 
• I would like to salvage my Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212. With that said, I wouldn't mind keeping the door open to liquid cooling in the future, strictly for the purpose that I am tired of loud fans. I have no experience with liquid cooling though.
• I don't like RGB setups which the build guide includes for the case if you can recommend another case
• Will be displaying on a large 4k TV
• Not super educated on refresh rate
• Ready to buy components right away 

Here is the build. Thank you for your help!:

Other than the GPU it looks good.

Some notes:

• PSU might be a little sus, I'd compare it against the LTT PSU Tier List.
• You cannot reuse your DDR3. It's not a possibility.
• AIOs still use fans. You're not getting away from that. If your fans are loud, buy better fans. The Arctic F series fans are cheap and very quiet.
• Don't know anything about the case, not sure if it has decent air flow.

Ram is pretty cheap so I'd just go for a cheap kit of 16gb ddr4 I can't see a reason to go previous gen to use it.

Some things I see in that build.

I'd get a 12400f cpu, saves some money there.

That's an odd price for the 34 esports. You can get a great dual tower cpu cooler for that price.

That's one of the worst boards I've ever seen. It has no vrm cooling and I'd expect it thermal throttle with any i7 cpus.

No gripes with ram or ssd. 

Cheaper case that's pretty solid

That's a psu I've never heard of before, and if your planning to upgrade to a 3000 or 4000 series gpu later, I'd want a little bit more wattage.

Thanks, that looks like a good build!
