Hello everybody!
I'm a noob to PC building and intend to build my first PC in July of this year. I want to post up the parts I've picked out and wanted to make sure that the PC I'm building will be of good quality for gaming. I'm concerned for this build because I was running my parts through Game Debates to see if the parts I picked out would be good enough to play certain games and every time it kept saying that my CPU will bottleneck. It then proceeded to recommend an i7 processor for which I won't have the money for. I just want some feedback or advice please!:) I really want to be sure on the parts I picked before I spend 800$.

The parts I've picked out are:

CPU: Intel i5 7500 3.4GHz Quad Core Processor
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 480 4GB
Motherboard: MSI Z270-A PRO ATX LGA1151
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB HDD 7200RPM
SanDisk SSD PLUS 120GB SSD
PSU: Seasonic 450W 80+ Gold Certified ATX semi-modular
Case: Corsair SPEC-02 ATX Mid Tower Case
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4

I've mostly used partspicker.com to help me pick my parts out and so far it says "no Incompatibilities found". A few users from this website also recommended the GPU and CPU to me.
Note: The games I really want to play are Escape From Tarkov, DOOM, The Witcher III, Fallout 4, ArmA III and Ghost Recon Wildlands.
Thank you!

For $800 you can do much better in terms of performance.
OCing isn't good value unless you have a 7700k, at the point where you buy a Z series board and a cooler, that money could have gone towards an i7 7700 which would outperform a 7600k anyway.
Money for an SSD is also better spent on performance.

If you intended to overclock in future then get an i5 7500k otherwise change your motherboard to H270 or B250. Because a Z270 motherboard with a 7500 is waste of money. Because you cannot overclock. And rest of the things looks fine.
