Hey guys, I'm building a pc for the first time. Im in the US, and I'm a casual gamer. I don't play demanding titles like crysis 3 or rise of the tomb raider. I mainly play things like CSGO, Dead by Daylight, Fallout 4, Skyrim. Im looking to play at high settings at 1080p. I'm also at the top of my budget. Here are the parts I've selected. Let me know if this is a solid build, and if there is anything I should consider. 

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

CPU COOLER: Corsair H100i v2

GPU: GTX 780 ti (I know it's old, but it'll be plenty for CSGO and PUBG)

MOBO: Asus strix B350-F

RAM: G skill Ripjaw 16 GB (2x8)

PSU: EVGA Supernova G3 650 watt

CASE: Fractal design Meshify C.

HDD: WD Blue 1 TB 7200

Also does the Meshify C have enough room for a front mounted radiator? Little concerned about that. 
 Thanks so much guys! Excited to join #pcmasterrace!!!

Looks solid to me, but do add an SSD to that build and remove the H100i. That cooler is overkill for a 1600 in any half decent case. You could stick a Gammaxx 400 on that CPU and still get good temps. I haven't yet used a Meshify C, so can't comment on that from experience. You are though paying too much for the CPU and mobo. You can get those for just under $200 total for both from a Microcenter if you're in the US and close to one, or for a little more from a Frys or a Staples if you're not (with price matching).
