Hey guys! I am saving up to build my own PC for the future and need some opinions on this PC build I put together.
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/YxpksJ

I want to ask are there any suggestions that I can improve the build with or are there any cheaper parts I can get with the same performance. Some of the games I play are League of Legends, CSGO, Minecraft and GTA V. I am planning to get some more intensive games later such as wither 3. Please give me some opinions and thank you for your time ;D
 
Solution
+1 for the Power Supply suggestion above.

Build looks pretty well thought out other than that but i would personally recommend spending less on the Case, go for a Corsair 100R or something thereabouts instead and use the saved cash to chuck in an SSD boot drive and upgrade to 16GB RAM, games are already pushing the boundaries of 8GB. Hope this helps :)

Here is a quick build list edit with the above suggestions:

I'm unsure of the quality of that SSD but's it's real cheap and any SSD boot drive is better than none believe me. Squeezed in 16GB RAM but if the cost is too much go back to 8GB, i would consider a 1x8GB instead though because your Motherboard only has 2 RAM slots so you can add another 8GB stick later when you need.
 
Solution
Get this.
Note that if you're buying more than a month away, these will be obsolete in terms of relevance by then, prices change and new stuff comes out.
