Hi, so I've finally compiled up all of the parts I will be using to create my first build with. Just wanted to make sure everything is all good and there are no faults or better alternatives to my picks.

I am buying the Rx 580, 1800x and cooler all from a close friend so I have a got a nice discount on those, as for the rest, please let me know if any better alternatives or incompatibilities or faults. I am on a pretty tight budget so any alternatives will have to be very close to or under the part it should replace. Thanks

(Ssd will be used as a boot drive)

Thanks

It is fine, I just have some suggestions, if they fit into your budget
- You should buy higher frequency RAM, your CPU will benefit from it
- Get a 256GB SSD as with windows installed you will actually have less than 100GB of free space and it will fill quickly.
- That PSU is not good. Get a 550w+ 80+ Bronze unit.

It is totally worth the extra money to get a 3000Mhz kit and a gold power supply. Like I said, there is no point in getting a 128GB SSD now, you can add it later.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from MA2K : "Check my build - FINAL"

Please check my build for any issues, incompatibilities or better alternatives, keep in mind the price if you recommend and alternatives :) I know some people so I'm getting some parts for some nice deals.

Also give me some tips, it's my first build :)
