Are you getting a CPU Cooler? Depending on what you want that already is an extra 50+ bucks depending whether you want a good brand or not.

A bit over, if you have the extra money go for it, if not remove the SSD.

That's not true at all. An aftermarket CPU cooler is not necessary anyway.

OP - i3 makes no sense, Pentium G4560 will perform pretty much identically for almost half the price. Mini ITX motherboard makes literally zero sense in a mid sized case. No SSD is pitiful. Poor quality case and PSU.

Similar to 13's build, but changed around a bit. You could wait until you have about $750-800 and build you a decent Ryzen system with R5. If you want a better monitor go with 13's choice. You could opt for LG's cheapest ultrawide, it will still be running you about $50 more then this. Ram is cheap right now, take advantage of it while you can.

No point in paying extra for ITX and losing a lot of your capability with mATX and ATX boards. Just get a wifi dongle.
