[SOLVED] Am I doing anything wrong?

[Wilburbruh]

First time builder here and I need a place to get some confirmation that I’m planning a decent build.
Link to my planned build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xTGMHh

My budget is around 750 usd
I want to know if I’m headed in the right direction with this build?
Is the Ryzen 5 1600 a solid CPU? If so, Would you recommend an extra fan with this cpu?newegg has a Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 ghz for the same price, is that better cpu? Are there parts that are newer that would be a better choice? Is that a reliable mobo?
I’m completely new to this and any help would be appreciated as I’m trying to learn anywhere that I can . Sorry if I am asking stupid questions just want to make sure I’m getting the most bang for my buck

unfortunatly, that video card is going to be too expensive to budget into my build. I can flex from 750 usd a bit but not a lot. Was the video card I had no good or would it still be worth picking up for my budget? Should I go with 16 gb of ram if I stick with my original video card?

Level below in performance but is a decent build.

I would upgrade your original list to a 2nd Gen Ryzen CPU and forego the SSD for now. Also upgraded the RAM, power supply and hard drive.
