PC build/questions. Help, please.

So, I want to build a PC, but don't really know how to go about it properly. I want a high end, but still slightly budget friendly build focused on quiet, and hopefully runs cool(er). Example, I want a Radeon 580 because it runs cooler, quieter, and it's almost as good as the 1080. I don't really care about 4K or any of that. I know shitall about motherboards, so I don't know if expensive really matters. Also, I'm thinking about a modest SSD to use for just a few games and the OS. And the other storage will be external. RAM is another issue, is DDR4 3200 the best, and is it that much better than DDR4 3000? Any parts suggestions, or general advice when looking for parts? Thanks. Budget: $800-900

    I've been putting together a part list for a PC for a week now and I've talked with multiple people (who know their shit) for advice. [url=https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BpMYYr]This is what I put together.[/url] It is a bit over your budget because mine is $900-1000, but this will get the job done and do a damn fine job at it. The case doesn't make much difference so it can be changed to fit your preference. Also this build lacks an optical drive. These aren't mandatory, but you may want it to install some software that uses a disk. Thing about it though, one of those can be thrown on at any time. They are cheap, ($30-40) so it doesn't matter too much. Second note: this build does not include a keyboard or mouse. A lot of people are going to tell you to throw a Ryzen processor into it. I'm not doing that because Ryzen processors are new, and because of that, it's uncertain how long they last. They could go faulty and you'll need a new motherboard AND a processor as Ryzens use a specific motherboard slot size (AM4). This is a hefty investment. make sure you know what you're getting. Listen to multiple people about this, not just me. I learned all these big words over the past two weeks, so I'm no professional. Remember: It is [b][u]your[/u][/b] choice on what to get for [b][u]your[/u][/b] PC that [b][u]you[/u][/b] are building for [b][u]yourself[/u][/b] to use. Best of luck on building your PC
