First time builder compatability check/ suggestions

[CassieMcFLirt]

I'm a first time builder with little to know computer knowledge before researching this (I've learnt a lot along the way) but Id I would like someone to look over my build to check that everything should work. I am open to any suggestions also. Thanks!

(I like in AUS to prices are AUD)

 

I have had previous suggestions with the GPU and PSU and these are my answers

 

GPU:

 

Q: Get the 8gb version

A: The 8gb version is an extra $100 AUD plus for minor improvements so unless someone has evidence against that I just don't see the worth in the 8gb.

 

PSU: I don't plan on upgrading past 550w as I don't need the extra wattage and I wont be upgrading my pc (to need the extra wattage/ certification) once I build because I will most lily resell within the next 1-2 years to get a car.

 

Budget: $1550 (absolute CAP but the ideal would be closer to $1400)

Looks fine for me, meybe you can find RAM with the same speed a little cheaper...
Also you can buy Win10 Prof Licenses from ebay for around 10$. Same for Office 2016...

Everything else looks fine for me

Looks good. I made two small edits: a Ryzen 5 2600 and a different SSD. Those Sandisks are pretty old now, so I picked a current gen budget SSD I've had a lot of good experiences with. Ask Umart to update the BIOS on the B350 board before they ship it.

Is ebay reliable, I had a look and was unsure if it was worth the risk?

So far I ordered all of my Licenses from Ebay, worked everytime for me so far

However, I never took the cheapest one. You should pick an offer that already sold lots of them. (I just wouldnt pick the 3$ ones =)

So far I ordered about 15 Windows Licenses and 5 Office 2016 Licenses and I never had problems.

For example something like this (in my Case this is Ebay Germany, but its basically the same). If lots of them are sold, they will work.
