Hello there!

I'm thinking of building a new gaming PC and I would like to know what you guys think of this build, if i should go with other parts instead of these, and if all the parts are compatible. I'm aiming to have the PC add up to around $850 with peripherals included. I'm interested in playing popular games like GTA V, the witcher 3, some survival games like Rust, and was wondering if this build is going to be able to handle them. I'm not really interested in playing in 4k or some high resolution, i think 1080p will be ok (preferably at 60fps or higher), unless you guys think it is something I should start considering soon. I'm also considering using it for some video recording and editing.... maybe (not likely) streaming. Here is the Build:

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-AB350M-D3H
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
GPU: MSI RX 570
RAM: Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4
HardDrive: WD Blue 1TB
Power Supply: CORSAIR CXM series CX750M
Case:Rosewill Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Challenger S

P.S I'm still looking for all my peripherals so if you have some suggestions please feel free to mention them. Thank you :)

I would make some changes to your original parts list:

More CPU cores (6-Core good for some recording/editing and suitable for gaming as well).
Better GPU (RX 580 good for 1080p/60hz, expect 60+ fps depending on in-game graphic settings and monitor refresh rate).
Better RAM (16GB good for multi-tasking work/editing as well as some selected games).
HDD retained as is.
Better-quality PSU (EVGA SuperNOVA G3 has ample wattage, at 650W for better efficiency, and longer 7-year warranty).
Case to match all selected revised parts.

Peripherals depend on the type of gaming you play. Mechanical keyboards by Corsair are good-quality units but more expensive than non-mechanical keyboards. There are also different mechanical key types (e.g. Cherry MX Blue, Red, Rapidfire, Brown, etc.) all having different clicks and force. You really have to try it personally on your local PC store to be able to decide on what suits you best. Mouse also depends on your games (how many buttons you need), the desktop/pad material (determines the best type of sensor), wired or wireless, etc. Like the KB, this peripheral is best determined by personally holding the mouse (grip type, feel, etc.) to determine which is best for you.
