Hello!

I'm a newbie looking to buy a new computer. Would greatly appreciate input on wether there are any compatibility issues with this setup.
The somputer will be used mainly for graphic design, image editing and gaming.
Here's the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9B9cFd

Thank you!!!

CPU - If you can stretch the budget, the i7-7700 would be a welcome upgrade with your intended uses.
MEM - B250 supports DDR4-2400.
SSD - The WD Green is OK at best. Look toward the WD Blue, Sandisk X400, SK Hynix or Crucial MX300.
GPU - The GTX 1050 Ti offers more performance for not much more cost.
PSU - No. XFX, Seasonic, the EVGA G2 / G3 lineup, or filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list. www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
MONITOR - Same specs, but less cost with the ASUS below.
EXTERNAL HD - Does this need to be external? Cheaper to go internal...

Thank you so much for your answer!
Regarding the processor upgrade, i've already stretched the budget to fit the i5-7500 and gtx 1050.
I did replace the WD to blue as suggested and I will look for a better psu.
The monitor and external hdd are things I already have and just included them for a better overview.
