Help Me With My PC Build

[Mji2001]

Hi I was wondering if you guys could check out my pc build. I'm not wanting to go over $600. If I can improve my build and make is better for the same price then please let me know. The link is http://pcpartpicker.com/user/mji2001/saved/qjyj4D I am wanting to play AAA games on decent settings. 1080p would be best. Thanks!

That keyboard bundle is trash. We have one at school and it looks and feels shameful. Also, do not expect to overclock with that mobo. Also, consider an SSD:

Don't know what that site is you are getting the Windows license from, but it's not a valid license for $25. If anything, it's an OEM key that should not be used on your system, probably came from a computer from Dell, HP, etc.. that is tied to that system. The cheapest legal Windows licence is in the $100 range. You may be able to find someone selling a used Retail license, that is OK to get, but make sure that it's not been blacklisted as a pirated license or is in use in another system.

here is another build for you to consider. it's not amd but intel. And I'm not giving you an intel build because I think it's better than amd (although it's been proven time and again that it is) I am simply providing you with the best options I can come up with on the fly for giving you high settings in 1080p on your games with solid framerates for the price point that you have provided.
--EDIT--
I didn't provide you with a mouse/keyboard or OS. You can acquire the mouse/keyboard for a decent price somewhere and you can easily acquire the OS for nothing if you torrent it (although I don't condone piracy I simply state it as an option because it technically is for anyone willing)

I would not use a prior gen i5 as above ^ unless the budget is really tight or that is all that is easily available, for another $30 you can get a current i5-6500 and DDR4 RAM instead of 3. The CX model power supplies are also a bit iffy on quality and long term use, spending another $10-20 on a better quality out would be better. Having said that, I have been using a 750 watt Corsair CX in a system for several months, but I got that in a trade and am not too afraid of burning out the components since it's in a secondary PC with older parts. If I was getting a new PSU for a new build, I would get a higher quality PSU.

It is an OEM. And its a reliable site. A few YouTubers (with over 100,000 subs) made videos about it

Many people use GTA for their game codes also, but those are grey market as well, that is not a fully legal key you are getting from them. It may be a valid MS key, maybe even not used, but if you ask how they get the keys, and check that against what is OK to use, it won't match up. That cost they are charging is about what the huge PC vendors like Dell would pay, or large volume licensees like corporations with hundreds/thousands of users. They are not valid for resale.

Going by YouTube is like picking a car based on what the kid at McDonalds drives, you need official sources.
