Hi guys, new PC builder here. Also new to the tomshardware forums but I've lurked a lot while troubleshooting various issues I've had with technology. Long story short; it's tax season and I'm looking to build a heavy gaming PC (though I'll use it for simple things like browsing/media as well) somewhere in the budget of $500-800. I've come up with something that seems all-inclusive to my needs and I'm just looking for first-timer advice and criticism. Also looking for any errors in the compatibility of my build. Let me know what you think, I would really appreciate any feedback and to learn a few things!

MoBo: Asus Prime B250-Plus LGA 1151 ATX
CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 3.4GHz LGA 1151
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 480 Armor
RAM: Crucial x2 4GB DDR4 2133 288-pin
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200 RPM
PSU: EVGA 500W B1 80+ Bronze
Case: DeepCool Tesseract SW ATX Mid Tower

(This build pretty much maxes my budget since I need a few peripherals)

That PSU is not very good and it costs $40-$50. I suggest you get a Seasonic S12II, it's $50 right now, search it on PcPartPicker.
Also, if you're planning to keep this PC a few years, I'd suggest you get the 8GB version of the RX480.
