New into pc building

[jplums99]

Just wondering if this pc build would be good for starting out. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rHhN9J
im mainly gonna be using it for mainly gaming and will probably will do some slight overclocking and probably will wait till cyber monday and get deals in november to see if there will be any deals. Let me know if I should upgrade or change anything in my build thanks.

I would up the wattage, power supply wise. The CX550m is a decent unit, but you are going to run really close to limits, once you start overclocking. 128gb ssd is practically useless, as it will fill up fast. You want at least a 240gb. Given the price of Intel CPU's right now, I would recommend a Ryzen 5 2600 based rig.
