Does my build look okay?

[madcatter3]

I already made a thread asking for advice on PC parts, and ended up with this build:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TzbVZ8

I plan to use it for CS:GO, Overwatch, and occasionally more demanding games like Battlefield 1 or Far Cry 4.
I'm wondering if everything in it looks good?

I made it better.
Dual channel RAM, because it's faster that way. If you want to upgrade later, you have two more slots.
B250 motherboard, because Kaby Lake doesn't run on B150 without a BIOS update.
1050 Ti, because it's much better than the 1050 for a small price.
Seasonic S12II 620W, because it's at the same price as the 520W.

Okay, I took most of your advice, but I'm using the MSI B250M PRO-VDH instead. Does it look good now?

It's fine. Just curious, why did you pick the MSI, because to my eye it doesn't look beautiful and feature wise, I don't think it can beat the ASRock I had.

Because before I started a build, I was watching a lot of "$400 PC Builds" on YouTube, and the MSI one seemed to be the motherboard of choice. What are the advantages of the ASRock one?

Here's a comparison, it also looks better.
Not everything is included, but the ASRock still wins here.
You wouldn't be wrong if you go with either, it's not many features you'll use.

From what I have built for my friend, I know that this will work really well and shave off a few $ from the build cost

RX460 is weaker than 1050Ti.
The PSU is much worse at the same price.

I was trying to go as cheap as possible for madcatter as they mentioned that they watched lots of $400 builds, and I know for a fact that the RX 460 will run BF1 on ultra because my friends PC does. That aside, I am from the UK and the PC components are slightly different in terms of availability and over here, the seasonic isn't something that would come to mind as its much more expensive (so I didn't know it would be any good for the price point) so thanks for correcting me there

 

[madcatter3]

Okay, I've edited it, and the price is around $500. By $400 Builds, I just meant I was using them to get an idea of benchmarks on a lower level and see how games ran on them.
Here's my improved version.

It's good, go for it!
