Is this pc good

Solution
Looks perfectly OK to me, no NEED to change anything so just some suggestions/hints:

Hold off on the purchases for a little while, Intel is due to release their Coffee Lake parts very soon ( Oct 5th ) and while the R7 1700 isn't exactly slow, Intel parts can have significantly higher frame rates at 1080 rez.

Drop the screwdriver set and get a good quality multibit set from an auto or hardware store, cheap tools are a disaster waiting to happen and don't last, I'm not suggesting to stump up for Snap-on or Mac, just something with a known reputation for good quality.

Don't see the need for anti static precautions beyond touching something earthed ( grounded ) every so often during a build, but if you'll be happier with the wristband...

Don't see the need for anti static precautions beyond touching something earthed ( grounded ) every so often during a build, but if you'll be happier with the wristband I'm OK with that, too 😉 just attach it to something grounded: A heating radiator, any water or gas pipe, a grounded electrical appliance that is plugged in and turned on or a metal heating/AC vent. Painted parts are OK, the thin pain film won't reduce the wristbands protection.

You MAY have difficulties getting the memory to run at full speed, Ryzen can still be a little picky about memory. If this happens, check the motherboard makers website, if they have an updated BIOS available, flash the motherboard to that latest release, it worked for me.

The Wraith cooler is screwed directly into the CPU backplate, you'll probably need to remove the plastic CPU retention pieces on the motherboard to install it.

I would have changed a couple of things, but if I had to build a 2K AMD rig right now would be something like this.

Overclocking beast with plenty of graphic horse power :)
 


I suggest getting a Corsair for the PSU because Corsair occasionally provides you with full refunds for any damaged hardware caused by their hardware.
