Budget mini Desktop (Opinion)

[Nevermindcv]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm planning to build a budget desktop, it has to be small, I already selected the parts, I would like to see your opinions about it, maybe I can improve or change any part for something better or cheaper, My budget is at about 1000, the idea is to get a small desktop that I can upgrade it in a future, add a better CPU and a graphics card. 

The goal of this desktop is to play triple-A games, start with OK settings and then when I upgrade it, set up everything in high. At the moment it will be connected to an LCD 40", later on, I want to get a proper monitor with high MHz and response.

 

these are my parts selected:

you're spending way too much on ram, get an 8-16gb stick instead.

I need a motherboard with Wi-FI built,  and I was thinking in the apu  ryzen with the GPU  all in one because my idea is to buy a 1080 or 1080ti when they get cheaper, while I'll use the integrated GPU of ryzen .  Maybe buy a ryzen with 8 cores as well. 
what do you think?

since your budget fits, you might as well get a 1060 now and better gpu later. IIRC the UK's prices now aren't much different from before. the board i linked already has wifi. no need for a ryzen 7 for just gaming.
