I have been working on this for a few weeks now and I feel like I am getting pretty close to what I want. I am not a heavy gamer, but I do like games such as Cities Skylines and other simulation games, so an increase in the video card is not necessary I don't think. I will be using it for my day to day stuff, work, coding, and in the future possibly some video editing/YouTube for a sports channel. My budget here is about $2000 so if you have any suggestions on upgrades or downgrades please let me know! Remember this is my first build, so if you don't mind please leave information as to why you think something should be changed and what I should change it to. Thanks again!

I do not see any issues with that build. If you want to save some money though, you could go with the Ryzen 7 1700. I highly doubt you are going to be putting it through heavy CPU usage. I have a 1700 & I do some CPU intense work on my system(and it never reaches anywhere near 100%).

I'll decided to switch from the 1800 to the 1700. Thanks!
