I'd change out the PSU for something different because I don't find the VS series that reliable, here's one that is cheap and decent still: EVGA 600B

 

Arguably, you could say that the Ryzen 5 1600 with a B350 board that can OC is better for the money, but I'm not going to push that onto you since it's opinion.

 

Other than that, I think it looks pretty good.

 

Also, you put RAM twice xD

Get an 8400 + z370, perhaps go for a used 980 ti, since that 1060 is going to run you like $350

Be a bit more specific with ssd/hdd

Dont think that PSU is good, get something like a cxm 550w

Try getting faster RAM for a bit more $

Don't get Kaby, either get Coffee or Ryzen. Every single one of the Kaby CPUs are obselete now. Getting a 1600 and a B350 Pro4 or Prime Plus should cost roughly the same as the 7500 and the motherboard. Alternatively, the 2400G, as long as the BIOS is up to date. 

Which SSD, and which HDD did you choose? 

Get faster RAM. 2x 4GB ≥2800MHz, preferably.

The PSU is crap. The PC will draw well under 300W when overclocked. Just get something like the Formula, CX450/M or Pure Power 10 400W. Those are way better PSUs.

It's not about opinions, and the B1 is also really trash.

Quote overkill with 550W

Still less shady than the VS series, also 550W doesn't matter especially when he might just want to upgrade or add something.

Build something like this as it is comparatively more futureproof..

No point in investing in an outdated platform..

Reasons:

  1. Better CPU - ryzen 5 1600 is an excellent CPU. Also it has 6c/12t
  2. Better mobo - ASRock b350 pro4 has some good quality of VRM's ND caps. So it'll overclock better.
  3. Upgraded ram from 8gb to 16gb
  4. Added in a 240gb SSD
  5. Upgraded storage from 1tb to 2tb
