First PC Build, Need second opinions

[zvol]

Hey all. This is my first time building a computer, so I'm pretty excited. Please keep in mind that I'm not that tech savvy.

I think my choices are pretty solid but I would like to know what you guys think.

I'm not much of a gamer or heavy user, so I chose not to include a graphics card (they're so expensive...). I did read that mechanical keyboards are a good investment so went with a pretty cheap but with good reviews Redragon keyboard. The monitor and case look really nice to me. I not entirely sure if choosing generic brand ssd is good or not but I do want this computer to last quite a while.

My budget is roughly $500 US but I'm willing to diverge if necessary.

For $500 all in with peripherals that's actually not a bad setup at all. Can't say much about that SSD though maybe others can provide some insight. Also, are you not needing a case?

get a 2tb $15 more for less headache, also you may grab a better ram for future builds

Faster ram, as ram speed is important for APU. There are definetly better cheaper monitors.

different psu, and why an atx case with an matx board?

will eidt and repost a list.

I forgot about the size of the case, it just looked nice to me haha.

Thinking it over, functionality would be better than the aesthetics in the long run. $15 for an extra terabyte and faster ram sounds pretty good to me. Thanks for the edit, I might actually follow through with it.

Np.

the case i chose was cheap, comes with a pair of fans, and doesnt look half bad.

also becuase the case was such a good deal, decided to get a full atx motherboard.
