Sure looks great. I would go with a 2TB HDD instead of 1TB. Games fill it up quick. What about a CPU cooler? And RAM?

That build looks good to me, I say go for it! If you want an alternate suggestion though I might suggest the 2nd gen Ryzens:

^ he meant to link the atx version of Strix X470, not the itx.

Yeah I realized the error afterward. I'll fix it.

I'd def go Ryzen 2 - hands down no doubt. I'd wave goodbye to my Intel.

At least AMD are guaranteeing the chipset will last 3 years. Ask the Intel people how long their last chipset lasted... 7 months!
That means, they can't even upgrade the CPU without buying a new Mobo

Very good build you can keep it just like it is.

You can add more drives if/when needed.

I would also stick with Intel.

ElectrO_90 :

By the time they need to upgrade it will be time to rebuild anyhow.

AMD build with a bit less flash, but a 1080ti.
