[SOLVED] Is this a good enough build for gaming for 700$?

[TheDarkIce]

I plan on playing games like Rainbow Six Siege, Rocket league, Assassins Creed Unity, Far cry 5, Star wars The fallen order and also possibly in the future Red dead redemption 2, Cyber punk 2077 and maybe some newer titles too.

I'm planning on building a PC with these specs.

Is there anything that I need to change to get more out of my money?

Also, I already have peripherals for the PC so I got 700$ to spend on the entire build.

I would suggest starting with @Hellfire13 's build, and swapping the following:

CPU:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XTQZJ28
The AF revision of the Ryzen 5 1600 - it's 12nm, and basically the equivalent of a slightly lower-clocked 2600. Yes, it's not quite as fast as the 3600, but it's only a hair slower than the 2600.

It's $85 plus tax. Free shipping. The $95 savings can then be applied thusly:

That will allow you to kick up for a better power supply:

Costs more than the CX, but a little more headroom for power, and a higher quality unit.

And maybe bump up the SSD to a full 1TB:

EDIT: With this link, you can get the 1TB Western Digital Blue SN550 - 5 year warranty, and 600TBW endurance, for $99.99, bringing the total down to $661.92 before tax.
