Hi everyone, I am new to PC building, so I was hoping that some of you could give me advice on how to make my build better. I was aiming for a build that is able to play most games at 1080p and just common internet surfing/video watching. My budget is around $675 CAD, but there is a little bit of wiggle room there.

Solution
Sure it all works and the 2800 RAM should work at Ryzens max none OC of 2667. Overclock the CPU to 3.6Ghz and it should outperform most of the i5's.
