How is my build?

[jpr100jpr]

This is my first build and I was wanting to know if it is good for playing games like:

Minecraft, The Escapeists 2, Leage of Legends, Sea of Thieves, and pretty much other random games on Steam.

Wildcards example is probably the way to go. Just would try for 16gb of ram. Your build isnt really far off. The mobo is far too expensive.

You don't really need a CPU cooler because the stock one is fine, but it can be kind of loud under load. I would go with a different cooler than that Zalman.

You can't run 3200MHz RAM on a B-series mobo (requires Z-series board). Max is 2666 on B360.

You can fit a better GPU in your budget. That PSU is great, but not exactly required. Better to make room for the better GPU.

That Spec-02 case is not worth $60. But for some reason right now there aren't a lot of choices for cases around that price.

You really don't need all those fans either.

Question from jpr100jpr : "How is my gaming build?"

This is my first build and I will be wanting to be playing games like:

Minecraft, Laege of Legends, The Escapists 2, Sea of Thieves, and other random games on steam.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NpgTFt

Feedback is much thanked.

P.S. If anyone knows of a good Wireless Network Adapter could you please send me a link?

Very good setup for what you require and will provide a great experience for your games...more importantly the 8400 will only get better when you next upgrade your graphics card as it will add more to a better GPU...Look to add more RAM on your next upgrade cycle but other than that...good build.

For Wireless network adaptor, here is a very cheap as chips one but more than okay:
Asus PCE-N15 300MBPS 802.11B/G/N WIRELESS PCI-E NETWORK ADAPTER

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-pce-n15-300mbps-802.11b-g-n-wireless-pci-e-network-adapter-nw-043-as.html

Or a more expensive but better one:

TP-LINK’s Archer T8E is an AC1750 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter

I would ditch those junk case fans - you don't really need them and you can get better fans later on. Also, with the money saved, if you have access to a Micro Center, you can get an 1800X right now for $199 and that's right now the best CPU value you can find.

hah, that is his pick of fans, I personally will skip fans for now and add if needed later on. Agreed, I will buy be quiet or Noctua fans if needed.

This is my first build and feedback is much thanked.

Seems fine for your purposes. You could probably get away with cheaper memory. And there are nicer coolers than the evo 212 (and you don't really need one). But if you are strapping those LED fans to it, sure, it will look neat.

Agree with Eximo...Good build with a solid base around the 8400. I can see you have cut pretty much to the bone to keep costs down. All I would add is if you can by hook or crook add 16GB instead of 8GB, that would make it all the better..but still, it will do the job and you can upgrade to more RAM later.
