My first gaming PC build. Does everything look ok? Give me your opinions/edits.

The build looks good. The only thing you really need to change is to a bigger and better quality PSU.

Also, the motherboard limits you to 2133 RAM. If the 2400 is cheaper, you can still use it, but it will downclock.

8GB is plenty for most games nowadays. I changed the SSD+HDD to the Hybrid drive since it is cheaper and less work. The R9 390 Nitro is the best version in my opinion with the MSI Twin Frozr. PSU have been changed to a higher quality one.

Good luck:
