First ever Build, Need Critique

[shewantsthedpad]

This is my first time building, i put together this list because i wanted to build a Solid $450 build. STORAGE IS LEFT OUT ON PURPOSE (i have a 500gb ssd, and a 500gb hdd). Let me know what i can change to make it faster for less, or for the same price. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rtHv7h

The case is full atx and the motherboard is micro, it will look really weird

Drop the power supply for a 450 watt supply, try and look for your prices on this website called Micro Center. Just google it, it has way better prices than other websites.

That is for SURE going to make everything a hell lot more expensive. Just take a look at Microcenter, because things are WAY more cheaper there, just take a look.

Everything looks fine except the CPU(that's my opinion of course).I suggest spending a bit more on the CPU.Ryzen 3 or 5,Pentium Kaby Lake CPUs would be better.

do you think the cpu should be alright for running basic games like, PUBGS, Rocket leauge, H1Z1, CSGO, GTA ect

That would be a smart move.But why not start with ryzen and a b350 mobo?Is your budget the problem?

Yes.It's decent for E-sports titles and not too demanding games,but don't expect to run AAA titles.(Obviously lol)

That is somewhat attainable with this build.Though I strongly suggest upgrading the CPU after a while.

God no, that's tragic. Absolutely do not go FM2+. You can easily get Ryzen within $500 budget;

I'd avoid buying parts little by little, as much as possible. Since it should only be a week or 2 gap between though, that would be fine I guess. I'd say buy the CPU, Mobo, and RAM together. Then buy GPU, and I guess case and PSU all together.

If you don't mind going a bit over the 500 mark,here is my personal build.

Really doesn't matter all that much. You could save like $10 by getting a cheaper, single fan 1050Ti but the dual fan cards look nicer. It's entirely up to you though, any 1050Ti will be fine.
