You should make a ryzen 5 1600 + b350 build instead it offer superior value as in cost-to-performance, use 3000mhz ram if you do get ryzen.

Don't get an i5, get a Ryzen 5

Personally I think that 21.5" monitors are a bit small.

R5 will be much better here, also try to push for an RX 570 as it is much better value.

Go Ryzen 5, go less expensive peripherals 

[Fluffybakon]

@Squid64, Here is something with better performance for the same price : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rPyYYr. You dont need a 7500 unless you intend to use it for rendering, and if you do, get a ryzen. This build has an rx 580 in it, but if you want an nvidia card, the 1060 3gb is in a similar price range, while the 1060 6gb is just that little bit more expensive. 

 

Overall, this build will get you 60fps @1080p on all games.

• You got a better CPU, overclockable even.
• GPU is better, more gaming performance overall.
• I kept the Mouse/Keybaord since you seem to like those specifically.
• PSU got an upgrade and more Wattage.
• I recommend a bigger monitor, nothing wrong with that one. But 21" is a bit small imo, it's a preference thing.

I didn't!

I'm not home and for some reason copy pasting from PCP doesn't work on this PC, had to paste it into Word and then here

25" ultrawide is deceiving

 

its tall as a 17" 4:3 monitor, about half of a 24" monitor.

1060 3gb is a bbbaaaadddddd recommendation.
