Hello,

I have just set up my first ever PC build. I've picked parts that I think will be good in a gaming PC, but if there are any changes you would make please say something. I've gotten some input about my motherboard and CPU and I feel like they are well balanced, I just need to know where my weak points are. I would also like to keep it around the $800 mark.

My build:

I'm also going for the aesthetics with a Black/Red color scheme.

Thank you!

Ryzen benefits from faster RAM. Luckily you can get 3000mhz DDR4 for less.

The Radeon RX 570 4GB is much faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

You can spend less on a motherboard and still have good expansion options and overclocking results.

When it comes to Windows 10. MS lets you install it without activating. You just have to live with a small watermark saying it isn't activated. A few minor personalization options are also locked out. Although there are alternative methods to use them. If you can live with that. You can free up some money for better hardware. I don't know why they allow this or if they will change this in the future.
