Hi as the title says i really need some help with my build. Ive been learning everything i can about PC building since i realized how bad console is compared.

This is my build...
Processor / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with Wraith Stealth - $235
Motherboard / MSI B350M Bazooka Motherboard - $109
Memory / Team T-Force Dark 3000MHz 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 Grey Black - $249
Power Supply / Corsair RM650x 650W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply - $155
Graphics Card / ASUS ROG Radeon RX 580 Strix Gaming OC 8GB - $449
SSD / Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD - $155
Hardrive / Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM006 - $79

Case / Fractal Design Meshify Mini C Dark Tempered Glass - $149
Lighting / Phanteks Digital RGB LED Strip Set 40cm Twin Pack - $29

Keyboard / Corsair Gaming Strafe RGB Mechanical Keyboard Cherry Red - $179
Mouse / Corsair Gaming Sabre RGB Optical Gaming Mouse - $69
Mousepad / SteelSeries QcK XXL Mouse Pad - $49
Headphones / Corsair HS60 Surround Gaming Headset Carbon - $109
Other / Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 120mm Fan Black - $25
Phanteks PWM Fan Hub - $15

Monitor / AOC Q3279VWFD8 QHD 75Hz Freesync 32in IPS Gaming Monitor $299

I'm hoping to play Destiny 2 to at 1440p at 75fps (hence the monitor only being 75hz) and some other games (e.g. Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch, City Skylines). I could put more into the build and get a better monitor but that would mean id have to upgrade the GPU as well and that just puts me over budget

Id appreciate suggestions

Thanks again !

The case is absolutely personal taste, but ofcourse some brands are better than others. Some great brands are Fractal Design, BeQuiet, Corsair, NZXT, Coolermaster, etc. I just took this NZXT case, because it's a very popular case and (I heard) easy to build with. If you want another, you just need to check if it's compatible with ATX motherboards.

I took the watercooling because of the easy overclockable 2600X. If you overclock, then you need a good coolingsystem. Watercooling is the best option in that case. Besides it's function, it also looks good ;-)
