Question Can someone rate my pc part for my firt ever pc?

[Edras]

I'm totally new to the pc building world ( owning a HP Laptop ). I watch a bit of pc build content but I'm still new, I'll want to know if I need to upgrade my build in a reasonable budget (1800 $ max). Hoping that I would get good tip from you guys!

Everything is fine except for this PSU. Its no good. You are risking the entire build with this PSU in your PC. Here is another forum post from Toms post about the same line of PSUs. A PSU like this will last you 10 years and by several orders of magnitude reduces the risk of the PSU causing any issues.

thank you! For real, I just picked a random cpu, it's good to know that it would ruin my build.

guessing you mean, PSU?

you should do some research into the subject just so you know the hows & whys of the dangers of low quality units for future builds/upgrades.
some can cause issues with your system not running properly, some can just malfunction or even burn up under stress, and in worse case scenarios can die and kill every device connected to them.
