Hello I will be building my first pc in a few weeks, these are the parts I chose I just wanted to know if there are any mistakes, something I missed, or just incompatible parts. This just fits my budget so cant force anything higher.

 

CPU : I5 8500

CPU Cooler : Be Quiet Dark Pro 4

RAM : Kingston 16gb 2400mhz 

Motherboard : MSI Z270 Gaming Plus ATX

GPU : Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce OC

PSU : Corsair 550Watt

Case : Cooler Master Masterbox 5

Case Fans : 3x be quiet! shadow wings 120mm 2200rpm

Storage : 1TB Western Digital, 128gb ssd ( for windows )

 

If there are things I can improve with the same budget please let me know, thanks.

get a cheaper B360 board and a cryorig M9i(or just use the stock cooler) instead, use the money for a 240gb ssd and better GPU. which corsair PSU?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

 The power supply is vs550 and will the stock cooler be enough ?

it's enough, you can always change it if it gets too hot. spend abit more and get a corsair CX or coolermaster masterwatt, the VS is low quality.

Ok so now I swapped the 1070 with a 1080, removed the cpu cooler and changed the psu to masterwatt. But to get a 1080 I must sacrifice the ssd. I can always get one later though. Thanks for your suggestions.

you can always get a 1070ti and use the money for an SSD, it performs about the same after overclocking.

As @DesertWarfare pointed out, the motherboard is not compatible with the cpu. You need to get an H310, B360, H370, or Z370 motherboard. Use pcpartpicker.com to assemble the list. You can always enter local prices manually.

 

The cpu does better with DDR4-2666 memory. 

 

A less expensive cpu cooler would be fine. The stock cooler should do an adequate job. If something more powerful is desired, consider something like the Cryorig H7.

 

The case comes with two stock fans. They should be fine to establish decent airflow. 

 

Get a larger ssd, 240GB+.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
