I would suggest spending the extra 20 or so dollars and getting the Ryzen 2600 over the 1600. You can also get a cheaper mobo.

You may also want to spend the extra money and get a 500GB SSD, I think Samsungs are still on sales for about 80 USD for 500 gigs.

For your power supply change it to a Corsair CX550M or CX550 (the one with grey and black labels not green), I believe the Corsairs has a slight edge on the Coolermaster in terms of quality. But get whichever is on sale and you should be fine.

One last change is your 1050ti, the Rx570s have been on sale lately and I think they are very close in price range to the 1050ti but its a much stronger card.

Thanks for the feedback! I literally just updated my list with all of your changes haha.

Any suggestions on a cheaper mobo with wifi? Ethernet isn't really an option.
The Fractal Meshify case comes with two fans - do you think I need a third? I won't be overclocking.

You shoudl be fine on fans.

As far as the wifi, honestly you can always just either buy a cheap USB or PCIe Wifi card. Some of the on board wifis on motherbaords aren't really the greatest

Got it. Would be nice to save a little cash so I'll definitely look into a wifi card then.

Thanks again for the help!
