Hello guys,I want to have some feedbacks on my first build.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MnbWVY
Adata ultimate su700 120gb is also in the build.
I will be using this pc for gaming and daily use.I will not be using it for intensive gaming,streaming or video editing.I just want to be able to play esports games,battlerite,pubg,fornite,warframe,shadow of mordor with a framerate of at least 30fps in medium settings.I also will not be overclocking.
My budget is around $640usd,it is not accurate though as I do not live in US.But I think it's still ok to take it as a reference.
 
Ryzen, when initially released was a nice step up for those who needed many threads.
Games, though, need usually 2-3 fast threads; your 4 thread 1300x should do the job.
Because of competition, the Intel i3-7350K list price has dropped to where it is similar to the 1300X.
The single thread rating of the 1300X is 1860, the rating for 7350K is 2473.
Here is a comparison:

You might consider the Intel option.

On ram, be very careful withy ryzen, it is picky on ram.
Buy ram that is on the 1300x qvl list, or is supported on your motherboard explicitly by a ram vendor.
Intel runs anything.

Love a ssd for windows. But, 120gb can fill up quickly and I would prefer Samsung for reliability and performance.
On a budget, you can defer on the hard drive until you actually need the space.

Seasonic psu is excellent.
For not much more, I would overprovision to 550w or 650w to accommodate a future graphics card upgrade.
A stronger psu will only consume the wattage demanded of it, regardless of the max capability.
