Would you recommend this gaming PC build?

[Guest]

Hi, just would like to know if this build is any good. I will be using this for some gaming and school. Let me know what you think. I am also pretty new to this, so if there is something that doesn't work together please let me know. I am trying to get it around 800, so if there is something that is overkill, let me know.

If you are at a University, check to see if you can get Windows for cheaper with an academic discount. I got Windows 10 Educational Edition (seems just like the pro edition) for free because I am currently enrolled in classes. That's nearly $90 you can use to upgrade a component or buy a new game.
