Just wondering if I could get some feedback on this build I was thinking of purchasing to take to university?

Improved list.
Ditch the AIO for a decent air cooler, get a 240GB SSD and get Ryzen, i've also made a few other improvements as well.
You usually don't need an optical drive, as Windows can be done via USB, but let me know if you need it for anything else. 😉
