CLOSED 1st PC, $1000US

I already received a lot of advice from commenters on another thread (thanks guys), but now that I have a better idea of what I want I decided to make a new one. Also it got a bit buried. Anyway, I've got a white aesthetic going on so that's why the RAM is a bit overpriced. And I realize the GPU and hard drive capacity are limited, but those are the first parts I plan to upgrade. Maybe the PSU too. I think they'll do for now. Uses are gaming, web browsing, school, entry-level audio production, and I'm interested in trying out streaming or video creation at some point. Only questions I have left are if the mobo is compatible with everything (pcpartpicker says it is but I want to be sure) and if the case has enough airflow.

- get better ram 3000, 3200 mhz would be better, ryzen loves ram speed 

- get a bigger ssd, m2 is not worth getting, also get a HDD.

I wouldnt bother with an NVMe drive honestly. A regular 120gb SSD with your OS and main programs on and a 1tb hard drive for games and other programs on would be better.

 

250gb will fill very fast, OS is around 30, then for example GTA V is about 70gb, FH3 is 60+gb

-Switched to 3200mhz. Didn't know that actually made a difference with Ryzen, thanks.

-I realize the m.2 is unnecessary, I'll probably go for a 500GB SSD instead, but the m.2 is just cool. I already have a large external hard drive (I think it's 2TB) that I might connect permanently so the size isn't a huge deal to me. And I'm kinda ready for HDDs to die, so I'm not gonna get one as a secondary drive.
