New Build Help

pc partpicker .com/list/qJJytg for those interested in editing a new list.

Info

I recently looked a friend's new build based off of the GPU/CPU, but for the other parts I'm at a great loss of what I really need in terms of general AAA gaming, I don't plan on live streaming or anything, maybe recording but that'll be it. Some parts are going to be bought secondhand since they're currently cheaper than a brand new item if not like new. I can go higher in price, but again, I don't plan on playing high-tier games on max settings since to me at least it wouldn't make that much of a difference except for the realistic feel.

Code:

CPU - AMD - Ryzen 5 1600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler - ARCTIC - Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 45.0 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing
Motherboard - MSI - B350 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard
RAM/Memory - G.Skill - Aegis 8GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (2 separate 8GB sticks)
Storage - SanDisk - SSD PLUS 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card/GPU - EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING
PSU/Power Supply - EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX
Case - DIYPC - Silence-BK-Window ATX Mid Tower Case

More or less asking for some babysitting in alternative/cheaper parts and where I could improve. Thanks in advance.

You may struggle with only having 8gb RAM

I think you should buy a ryzen 7 1700x Or a Ryzen 7 2700x. I would use the stock cooler. As for your B350 MOBA, if you have the patience to get a b450 i would buy the new B450; reason you need to wait is because they recently release and price is high. I would get 16GB of ram (8gb x2). Storage Personally, I would buy a Samsung EVO 500GB/1TB (1TB is on sale right now on amazon & newegg)

I didn't bother to look over the case cause that is your choice & power supply is more then good enough, if u want to save money, you can buy a cheaper one. GPU is fine personally for me, but i can't say if it will run whatever games you are playing at 60FPS.

This is my prefer build; however your build would still work; i just don't think they are worth the $$$$. But, it all depends on how much you buy it for; are you looking for deals?, coupons?, etc....

Because right now you are buying a ryzen 5 1600x for 200$ while a ryzen 7 1700x cost 200$ (when it WAS on sale on newegg and amazon)
& it is only 190$ on microcenter (u have to pick up) but u can bundle a moba at micro center too.

I am using 2, the 2x in the code was a little hidden sorry.

I'm looking at secondhand purchases and deals
but wanted more opinions on the core parts like the cpu/gpu since re-sellers are cheaper than new at the moment.
As for the video card it is sort of a staple unless I can find a 1070 or 1080 that works just as well if not better.

what games are you usually playing?
and what resolution and refresh rate does your monitor have?

I'm looking for something that can run crap games like fortnite or the overly resource draining realm royale at 1080p, not max settings or ultra (you get the idea), I don't have a monitor idea yet as I'm still looking for secondhands on all parts, but I was planning to use my fat ass TV with a 120hz refresh rate, unaware of the ratio but I plan on being windowed as to not fuck something up anyways. At the moment I'm looking at CS:GO which doesn't even require that expensive of a build, but I don't want to be forced to upgrade when I want to play future games.

SN Edit: About the monitor, I currently don't have a proper one except for an all-in-one hand-me-down I sorta refuse to use.

seeing as it is a TV chances are its not native 120hz

apart from that the build definitely fits what youre looking for

id only have 2 sticks of ram as opposed to 1
