I’m currently saving up for this build.

Im going to use it for gaming and some unity game design. I have one 1080p 60hz monitor right now, but I would like to get a second one later on.

 

How does it look? Are there any major issues? All feedback appreciated.

Looks good but, you might want to look at a board from Asus, I've heard MSI boards for AM4 are quite rather crappy. @dave_k gets tagged a lot because of AM4 boards apparently having a generally poor selection of VRMs on a lot the boards.

Eh, I'd say for a more mixed use case like OPs, I say the R5 1600 is a better chip. Both CPUs will do fine of course.

Asus doesn’t have many AM4 boards but I’ll take a look at them.

The motherboard is garbage, it's the worst B350 board.

Get faster RAM. It impacts performance noticeably.

Get the 250GB SL308 for $8 more.

Way overkill wattage on the PSU. 550W is plenty.

The Corsair AF fans are crap. Just use the stock case fans.
