Does this build look ok?

Been out of the loop for a long time, just looking for clarification that this should all work. Will be used for general office, media and some gaming:

Intel i5 8400 socket 1151
Asus prime z370-p socket 1151
Corsair vengence ddr4 2x8gb 2400mhz
GeForce GTX 680
Kingston 120gb + 480gb ssd
Corsair carbide 400c midi tower
Corsair rm650x psu

I think 650w is far too much really, but does anyone have any experience with this line of psu?

Thanks for that. The GTX 680 is an existing card to use until I get something more up to date.

what's your budget and what are you needing to upgrade. are you diy-ing the build?
perhaps one of us could help with the spec if you give us a budget?

Yeah definitely a diy job, I've done a few in the past.
Budget of £1000 including a 22" monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse. Mainly used for office work, audio production (sibelius) and gaming.

These Ryzen cpus seem to be making a bit of noise. Are they worth a punt? I've been left a bit disappointed with AMD in the past (phenom ii x6 & A10).
