Help! Pc build

[Newbie312]

Hey! I'm new to computer building, and i'd just liek to know if my build is enough. I am an average gamer and play lost of games, but i am not too sure if my pc is good enough. I've been struggling with my cpu, and gpu because i don't know what is good for a 700$ rig.

Any suggestions will be appreciated!!

Thank You

Besides the ugly mobo, that would destroy for sub $700! Though Windows (unless steamOS is still a thing) should always be considered since it's another $100 .
