So I decided to build a PC and this being my first build, I don’t really know if what I chose is the best or if I could do any better. Budget is around $1, 300 and the use of he PC would be some editing, website development and some gaming. This is what I have chosen so far. Any tips?

 


Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5 'MCW-L5S3-KGNN-02'

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600

Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X370-PRO AMD X370 S AM4 DDR4 SATA3 ATX Motherboard - Black

RAM: Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX 16 GB

Graphics Card: ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB ROG STRIX GAMING OC GDDR5

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2, 80+ GOLD 650W, Fully Modular,

Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda - 2 TB internal hard drive

SSD: Kingston SA400S37/240G SSD A400 240 GB

 

Thank you :)
