CPU -- Ryzen 1500x
MB -- B350 Tomahawk
RAM -- Ballistix Sport 8gb x1
GPU -- Radeon RX 560
PSU -- Corsair 550w Bronze
CASE -- NZXT S340
MEMORY -- SanDisk 120gb SSD
total ---- $685.80 as of 2/3/18

My budget was $650, and I'm slightly off with that with this build, but that's because a few things.
If I can find a professional to assemble it for me (proper wiring, setup, installation, etc), then all the items on the list remain on the list. If I'm going to do it myself, I'm going to salvage the PSU and hard drive from my last composition and allocate that extra money to peripherals.

Main use for the PC will be gaming; LoL, PUBG, etc.
Absolutely open to criticism and opinions, would love to hear better alternatives or supporting comments. This is the 3rd time I am building a PC and appreciate all the feed back I can get. If you can make a better build within the same price range, please comment it below. Not too picky about brands, just want functionality.

If anyone is aware of a company/organization/person who assembles PCs professionally and aesthetically pleasingly, please let me know along with their pricing if available.

Dump the CPU cooler, the AMD Wraith cooler is just as good as the EVO 212 and that'll save you a little bit of money. Also swapped the PSU so you can get a larger SSD.

Oooh, thanks. Forgot that the CPU comes with a cooler, I added one to the list by default. Made those changes. Any opinions about the build overall?
