Looking for Escape from tarkov, hunt showdown to run well and Fallout 76 which i assume is a modified version of fallout 4

It's a solid build, you've checked all the boxes. Black and red theme, I see?

I was actually going for green and black....but not many MOBOs that are green. my buddy thinks i am wasting my money going with AMD

if you're just gaming, an i5 8400 would be a better choice, use the money on a better gpu.

I would agree if you're purely gaming. It's different if you do productive work such as editing, streaming, and video production. Those cores will go to waste if all you do is game.

750W is more than needed. 550W would be enough, 650W just to be safe :).

 

The psu is good, you might consider a newer design like SeaSonic FOCUS Plus 650 Gold or SeaSonic SSR-650FM.

like what herman said, swap the Ryzen 7 for a ryzen 5 and get a GTX 1070 or better

For just gaming, a Coffee I5 is better than a Ryzen 5.

Swapped some parts, I suggest this

8600K is great for gaming, 8400 just as good. I have an 8600K at 4.4GHz along with a 1060 3GB model.

Is the b360 Mobo the older one or is that the Z370 motherboards? 

 

I like your build I’m gonna switch the 8400 to 8600k and go with a z370 mobo

Coffee is compatible with H310, B360, Q370 and Z370 motherboards. The B360 is one of the new Intel ones, yes. 

For gaming, you're wasting your money by doing that. It won't improve the performance. 

If the goal isn't performance, but overclocking for fun, also change the cooler to the H5 ($45). It's a good cooler for the price. And consider delidding the CPU. You'll also want a motherboard with at least a somewhat decent VRM. Alternatively, get something like the MSI Z370-A and strap a 40mm fan to the VRM.
