Wondering if there are any recommended improvements to this build or if any of the components need upgrading/downgrading because of restrictions by the other hardware?

New to the forum and relatively new to custom PCs, so any help and guidance would be very much appreciated :)

Cheers for the replies and happy new year!, I was aiming for a PC that will run current games on max settings (mostly skyrim, battlefield etc) and breeze through everyday tasks. Will it be possible to get all of this into a mid sized tower rather than a full one? Would your reccomendations still be viable for a smaller tower?

I've never built a computer and don't really want to mess it up if i try myself
