New pc build suggestions for upgrades

This is my current plan for a build. Please give me any suggestions of things I should change. I already have a case and the fans are for it. It will be used for school and gaming. My budget is $850. (Going a little over $850 is fine too)

why not get the r5 2600 paired with an msi b450-a pro which will be the same price for both as your two options. also, maybe look into getting a better psu

What is your case and how many fans are in it already? Are you going to use any fans from the case?

My case is a NZXT Phantom 820 and I need the fans because when my friend gave it to me, it didn’t have fans in it. (He found it and was gonna throw it out.)

Thats a nice case, i wanted one, but i went through 4 of them and they all had a paint chipping problem in the top corner of the side panel. Its thick paint and easily chipped of when taking of the side panel, so be carefull.

This build looks good. It’s just I’m changing the b350 board to a b450 A pro board. Same price and supports pinnacle ridge cpu.

I’d prether a 1060 instead of an rx 580. Same price, faster card.

the 580 performs about the same as a 1060. one will perform better in one game, the other in another game
