It's nice enough. A few tweaks.

Change the RAM to a pair. Don't leave that performance on the table over that single RAM.

Single rail PSU, good.

Be sure to compare CPUs and mainboards to what you see at https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds since you may get a better CPU for same or less.

I don't know what you want to do with this machine.

It's not going to be a power house or a serious gamer.

As mentioned tweak the ram a little.

Is that small ssd going to fit your storage needs?

For gp use the machine is fine.
