Why an APU with a decent GPU? Also, what types of games are you playing or planning on playing? MMOs, emulators, CPU-bound, and GPU-bound games make a huge difference on what parts you should have.

Swap W7 for W8.1. In a budget build, the extra 10% of performance from W8 is rather needed.

Ryzen 9 5950x | NH-D15 | ROG STRIX X570-F | G.Skill 32GB DDR4 | MSI Ventus RTX 3080 | WD Black SN850 1TB PCIe 4 | Samsung 850 EVO + 860 EVO 1TB | Corsair 5000D Airflow

Dell S3422DWG | Dell S2721DGF | Corsair K70 RGB Keyboard | Logitech G502 Lightspeed | ATH-R70x
