Newbie PC build for photo editing

[ATM4EVR]

Hi all,
I'm trying to build my PC rather than buying off the shelf. However as I am not experienced enough in this field I would appreciate any comments/suggestions.
My total budget including monitor should not exceed 2300$ Canadian.
PC will be used mainly for photo editing (Lightroom) and the usual daily stuff (email, netflix, instagram)
I've tried to build one through newegg but again not sure how well I've done.
Thanks

Looks good to me. Two notes:

• CPU cooler - switch to a Thermalright Peerless Assassin if you can find one. Very good cooler at a very value-oriented price.
• Case - Stay away from the H510 Elite as it's basically an oven and will cause thermal issues if you decide to upgrade to even slightly more powerful hardware. If you like the look of that case, NZXT has an updated version called H510 Flow, which is better. Our recommendations are here: https://www.cgdirector.com/best-smallest-atx-cases/ (will get around to recommending the H510 Flow instead of the H510 here as well).
