Building my first PC and reviewing part choices

[hexflagofdeath]

Alright, so I'm putting together a parts list for one of my friends who wants a decent gaming PC with a budget. He knows less than I do and I've only got some basic computer knowledge. I've never built a PC so I wanna check this over before I mess anything up. If any problems are seen/any changes need to be made or additions, lemme know! Need to know if all these parts are compatible and if they're decent enough to put into a gaming PC.

Here they are:

(Processor) - Intel BX80677I57500 7th Generation Core-i5 7500 Processor

(Power Supply) - EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1, 80+ GOLD 650W, Fully Modular Power Supply 120-G1-0650-XR

(Hard Drive) - Seagate BarraCuda ST2000DM006 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

(Memory) - G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-8GVKB

(Motherboard) - MSI Z370 GAMING PLUS LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

(Graphics Card) - MSI GeForce GTX 1060 DirectX 12 GTX 1060 3GT OC 3GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready ATX Video Card

(Case) - DIYPC Ranger-R4-R Black/Red USB 3.0 ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case with 3 x Red Fans (1 x 120mm LED Fan x side, 1 x120mm LED Fan x front, 1 x 120mm fan x rear)

(Optical Drive) - LG Internal 24x Super Multi with M-DISC Support SATA Model GH24NSC0B

Not sure if it'll fit in the case, or if the 650w power supply is too much either. Also would like to know of a cheaper cooling system that would work with this build.

Very newbie questions, but thank you!

Z370 does not support 7th gen, only 8th gen
Avoid G1 pls
Why not coffee lake I5-8400?
For locked CPU, B360 is good enough, no need for Z370.
case is not very good.
Total budget? Living in US?

I can switch to the I5-8400 with the B360 if that works better.
I'll take a look into some cases and find a new power supply.

Living in Canada and the budget it $1200

does he have any games on disk?? most new computers dont need a disk drive. windows now comes on usb sticks. with the newer 2080 gpu dropping swap out the 1060 for the 2060. use a ssd as the main drive whe nhe has more funds add a storage drive. with windows it a pain to move from one drive to another. have him pick up one of the seasonic focus units.

2600 is close to 8400 in gaming but comes with doubles threads.

I agree go with an 8th gen I5 or even an AMD Ryzen 2600. The motherboard can drop to a B series if not overclocking.

At that price the Fractal Design Focus G is a nice case.

An EVGA G3 550W is $20 cheaper and adequate. A 450W would power that system. the G3 is based on the Superflower Leadex which is really good.

I second the m.2 or PCIe SSD 250GB or 512GB and add a storage drive in the future if required.

Coolers are included and adequate. If you want an aftermarket heatsink check Frostytech.com for reviews on noise, price, and cooling capability.

Took in some feedback and looked around a little. From what I understand I don't need an aftermarket cooler so everything here should make a functional PC.

Looks good but go for a 2x8GB dual channel kit for the RAM.

Here is My recommendation. Without overclocking there's no need to get more than this solid Asrock Pro 4. You will want 2 sticks of RAM for dual channel speed and I bumped you to 2666mhz, the standard for your CPU. Changed GPU to a rx580. The 8GB vram will be helpful over the 3GB going forward.
