[SOLVED] Edit My Parts List

[paddysherlock]

I want to build my first PC and don’t know a ton about picking parts. I would like it if people could look over it and make some changes. I need wi-fi, peripherals (I already have a mouse) and would like to keep a black on white theme. It would be neat to get more blue lighting in the case but it’s not necessary. My budget is CAD$ 1250 or USD$ 950. I’ll be using this PC for photo/video editing and 1080p gaming.

I would try to do something like this. A few points of change:

a. The Ryzen 5 2600 comes with a decent stock cooler.
b. It also comes with pre-applied thermal paste.
c. Faster RAM helps at 1080p resolution gaming.
d. Ditched the WiFi adapter and got better motherboard with built-in wifi.
c. Better power supply.
d. Didn't want to switch the case, but had to for budget.
e. Those Cooler Master fans are pretty cheap. I wouldn't bother with them. Save your money for some good fans if you want.
f. Swapped for 75Hz FreeSync monitor.
g. Oh, and I tried to fit the RX 580 8GB in there.

Question from paddysherlock : "First PC Build Help"

I’m looking to build a pc for photo/video editing and gaming. I don’t know a ton about pcs but I think this is a decent start. I would like someone to look over my parts list and make some improvements since I probably overlooked some things. I already have a mouse but need all other peripherals and wifi compatibility. My budget is 1250 CA$ or ~925 US$. Thanks for any help.
