Im trying to build a gaming pc that I can play games like Overwatch, Call of Duty, etc on high settings. Is this PC good or can you suggest something better?

it's good, I suggest some minor tweaks only:

lose the Thermal Paste, the one coming with the cooler is alright
Ripjaws are a pain to fit with the 212 due to their size
better PSU
better case fan
some adjustments as for 1080 model and SSD to cut a few bucks without sacrificing any performance

So instead of Ripsaws, would Vengeance be better?

vengeance are like 50% the height of Ripjaws and won't give you problems with any cooler

Dump the cooler & thermal paste & swap the ryzen 1500x for the ryzen 1600.

That combo works out $2 cheaper & the 1600 is a far far better CPU.

525gb m2 drive in there for $3 less than your original build.

Provably the wrong person to ask mate .
I'm a resolution & detail whore more than straight fps personally.
I'd be looking at a 27 inch 1440p 75htz panel for myself.

You're maybe more geared up for 100htz+ ??

What your budget for the monitor ??

 

[madmatt30]

Try & up the budget mate if I were you.

That's a touch under $400 but you've got simply the best of both world's then.

Do you really need a $140 keyboard ??
The corsair k55 is like $50 & still a really good gaming keyboard

Yea I will definitely switch the keyboard. Also why dont I need a CPU cooler?

Becasue the spire that comes with the ryzen 1600 is a fairly beastly bit of kit for a stock cooler.
As long as your case airflow is decent & ambient room temps are reasonable itll quite simply do a good enough job.
You can push 3.8/3.9 ghz on it with still respectable temps & acceptable noise.
