The only mobo anyone should avoid is msi and ur wasting money with 3000mhz ram lit wont see a performance gain better to spend money on gpu cpu and that cpu is no where near as good at performing in games as a i5 would be, but thats assuming this is to be used for gaming. Put the extra money into a better gpu? I would personally go for a hyper 612 evo ver.2 cooler just check for compatability with case but performs like a champ under long loads

If you move things around and change unneeded parts (IE extra cooler) you an upgrade your whole build, with the exception of the CPU, all for the same money.

Then yes your computer will run those games fine at 60fps 1080p but it wont be max settings imo i would spend as much as possible on gpu as possible just for reference my build cost 1000 and i put a 500 used 1080ti, dedicated half the budget admittedly i owned some parts pre build
 
I disagree about the suggestion of putting a 970 Evo in that system. Maybe it could be justifiable for a higher-end build that already has a much higher-end graphics card, but in this build that money would be far better off put toward graphics hardware instead. If you only want a ~250GB SSD, put a less expensive drive like a Crucial MX500 in there. NVME drives like the 970 Evo are technically capable of faster read and write performance, but in terms of game load times and most other tasks, they typically make little difference, since games are spending much of their time processing the data rather than just loading it off the drive. You're essentially paying twice as much to reduce load times by maybe 10%, if that. And in a game like Fortnite, you'll still be waiting for other players to join at the start of a match. And you could even get a 500GB MX500 for significantly less than that 250GB 970 Evo, allowing you to install a decent number of games to it. Or maybe go for something like that 1TB Intel 660p listed in JeremyJ's build a few posts up, and if you don't have a lot of bulk data files like video to store, or a large extended game library, you could even skip the regular hard drive entirely.

Also, you likely won't need an 8-core, 16-thread CPU to properly run games for quite a while. You would likely get better gaming performance by cutting that down to something like a 6-core, 12-thread Ryzen 2600X, or a 6-core i5, and again putting the money saved toward graphics hardware, as that will make more of a performance difference in most games. The RX 570 is currently a fine card for budget builds, but at this price point, it would probably be worth going with something like the recently-released GTX 1660 or 1660 Ti for a gaming build.

Right now you can get an Intel 660p for only a little more than a good SATA SSD, sometimes it is even cheaper per GB than the SATA SSD.
