[Build Ready] Girlfriend and I are going to be building a couple gaming PCs, could use some help/suggestions with the parts we have laid out.

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming, looking more towards current gen/releasing soon games.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

Not looking for constant 4k 120fps. Obviously playing the games on high would be a plus but Ultra is certainly not a requirement for us.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

$500-$750. Lower the better obviously but we have some wiggle room.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA

I do have knowledge about computers but I've never built one myself but this was what we came up with after spending some time on pcpartpicker and just doing a little research and comparison.

Just looking to see if this looks like a decent rig and could let us play games like Xcom 2 or Total Warhammer without bursting into flames. Being able to do Fallout 4 on it would be nice but from what I've read the requirements for it are pretty beefy, which is understandable being open world and all.

Any help/suggestions would be great, I formatted as best I could and tried not to break any rules!
