He kinda is wanting for it to be 650 dollars but he can get another paycheck 2 weeks after we get all the parts. I doubt he'll use all that space til then.

The motherboard is crap, there is no reason to pay that much for it. The Pro4, Prime Plus, Strix, Krait and Carbon are all decent B350 boards. Don't be tempted by the lower end Gigabyte X370 boards, they are just as bad as the B350 boards. MSI's X370 boards are the same as the B350 boards.

Don't get 2x 4GB, get 1x 8GB, and at a faster speed. The G. Skill Aegis 3000 MHz costs $80. 

The SL308 is decent, and costs $20 less than the 850 Evo.

The V550 for $55 after rebate is a nicer PSU at a very good price, if you want that.

Shit, not bad. Never built in a micro atx case before so this will be fun; especially with a semi modular psu.

I've built rigs with both modular and non-modular PSUs before, you can make rigs with non-modular PSUs look neat and tidy if you get creative enough
