Thank you in advance.

You dont seem to have an SSD in there, which I would recommend for the OS.

Just look for an SSD with about 120 Gb, that should be enough for the OS and a few other programs etc.

 

EDIT:

You could get a 250gb SAMSUNG 970 M.2 for about 100$.

There also are cheaper options like Kingston.

a Ryzen 5 2600 is likely a better value CPU

You can easily get 50+% better GPU

 

Should buy a case that actually has airflow

 

wouldn't suggest the 2015 CXM model at this point

Buy a wireless adapter with an antenna you can move

And ya just add a 240GB SSD, though for B450 you get StoreMI, which means you can use up to a 128GB SSD I think, to accelerate your 2TB hard drive

Going with Ryzen and B450 gets you StoreMI, which is really useful technology for hard drive acceleration.
