[SOLVED] Feedback on my first Gaming PC build?

[AlphaSpartan]

Hi All,

I am a beginner when it comes to PC building. I have never build a PC in my life, and just got into PC building two weeks ago or so. I want to switch from console to PC gaming, and hopefully my end result is a solid gaming PC that will run games well, under $750.
I made a pcpartpicker build, here is the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WnkXr6 .
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you for your time

Refined your build a bit:

Changes made:
RAM: 2x 8GB 2400 Mhz (red heatsinks) -> 2x 8GB 2666 Mhz (black heatsinks)
GPU: RX 570 4GB -> RX 580 8GB
Case: Riotoro C500 -> Phanteks Eclipse P300 TG
PSU: Corsair CX550m -> Seasonic M12II-620 Evo

Few words
$97 case in a such limited build is pretty expensive to go for. And just to show you how much your PC can be improved performance wise if you'd go with cheaper PC case, i composed the build above.

With money freed up from expensive case, you can go with 2666 Mhz RAM. Picked the black heatsink so it would fit the PC's black theme. Unless you want the red heatsink RAM to stick out like a sore thumb.

Due to the freed funds, GPU also got an upgrade with double the VRAM and if you buy the GPU from Newegg, you'll also get the 2x free games with it as well,

Since you seem to like black plain case with TG side panel, for new case, put in Phanteks P300 TG,

And since RX 580 is 185W GPU (vs 150W RX 570), PSU also got upgraded, both build quality and wattage wise. While M12II-620 Evo is older design, it's good quality PSU and it's also fully-modular (compared to the semi-modular CX550m).
(All my 3 PCs: Skylake, Haswell and AMD are also powered by Seasonic. Full specs with pics in my sig.)

Note: since choosing a PC case is personal choice, i usually don't change the one already picked, unless there's significant upgrades to be made with cheaper PC case. Your initial build does work fine and if you want to get your Riotoro case, go for it. If so, i'd only switch the PSU to Seasonic M12II-620 Evo (same price as CX550m).
