Please, someone help me here! I've been trying to build a new PC but I've limited knowledge on this. Anyway, decided to search and investigate and I made this build:

My budget is somewhat limited (don't want to go over 800€). I'm building it to play some games, mainly RTS like CKII, EU4 - of course, I'm trying to make it somewhat recent so I can play the new releases of those games. I also like some RPG's (like Skyrim, Dragon Age, etc) but I don't mind giving up in some graphic detail in those games because I value most performance than visuals. I'm also a image editing hobbyist (Adobe CC, mainly Photoshop and Lightroom) so I also took that into consideration but I'm not a professional xD
As you can see, it's not finished. Still missing some important things like: - CPU Cooler - Storage - Case - Power supply - Sound card (I don't know if I need one or does any of the components that I already have comes with it)
I admit that with my limited knowledge I'm afraid that my choices would't be the best so I ask you your opinion about:
-The best choice for the missing things, taking into consideration my budget?
- Would you recommend a cheaper build for the same purposes?
- Regarding my reasons to build the PC and my budget, would you change anything in my build (i.e: motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM) ?
Also, I din't mention but I have the other peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitor) so that leaves them ou of the budget.
Thank you for your help.
