Good build! But check out @STRMfrmXMN's PSU tier list. I don't know where that PSU is on the list, but you want one tier 3 or higher.

Sure will, thanks. Any pieces of advice of changing the motherboard?

Nope. MSI makes solid Intel mobos, and if you want that one, go for it! You only really need to be picky with Ryzen mobos. With Intel, just pick one from a reputable company with the chipset and features you want, and grab that.

Could easily fit a GTX 1060 3GB into the budget, or even a 6GB version.

will cost me 50$ more, may drop the SSD to 120GB and grab 500GB HDD, then grab the GTX 1060 3GB.

But I don't know if it's worth with this CPU.
