Thanks, I was a little weary about the CPU, an 8 core 4ghz CPU? No way thats a deal to good to be true. But of course I don't really know my computer parts yet, so thanks for pointing that out!

Ryzen 5 is great but no need 8 threads and Ryzen 3 1300x is 10% faster than ryzen 5 1400.
Also 430 watts is more than enough.
spend few more and go for GTX 1060 6GB or GTX 1060 3GB(40$ less than 6GB)
Yes it will break your budget but if you dont want to break go for 40% slower GTX 1050ti
