Nearly finalized budget build

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

I will be using this to run games at higher quality settings, but I don't necessarily need to be on Ultra. I'd like games like XCOM 2, Planet Coaster, and possibly Star Wars Battlefront 2 to look nice. Also, I'm interested in giving 3D modeling in Blender a try and I occasionally use Photoshop and Illustrator. I would like to have a dual monitor setup.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

1080P at a minimum with at least 60fps would be nice. I'm primarily an Xbox One player as well as a few games on my laptop and both of the resolutions for those are 720P. Obviously if I can get higher, that would be great.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

$1000 is my budget, but it's not really a fixed number and will likely end up spending more since I don't have any peripherals.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

U.S.

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I have never built a PC before, but I have been doing a bunch of research over the past couple months so I feel like I have a build that will suit my needs, but I have a few things that I'd like to run by you guys here.

So, first and foremost, I already have the two sticks of RAM, the PSU, and the case for this build since I got all of those on sale a little bit ago.

With regards to the RAM being 2400 MHz and Ryzen benefiting from higher RAM speeds; I've done my research and decided that I'd likely only get a few extra frames here and there and the price I got for it far outweighed any benefit of getting faster RAM for a much higher cost in my opinion.

For the CPU, I have a couple things in mind. First off, I waited for the Coffee Lake release and while something like the i3-8100 or the i5-8400 would offer better performance, the expensive motherboards that I likely wouldn't even fully utilize kind of spoil them for me. If you have something that you think may change my mind towards intel, please let me know since I can go either way. Also, I've seen similar builds to mine posted here with the Ryzen 3 1200 and I was wondering which CPU you think would better suit my needs. My understanding is that the 1300X costs about $20 more, but does get better performance. Oh, and I do not understand overclocking very well, so help on that front would be much appreciated.

Another thing I need help deciding on are monitors since I am not 100% sure what I should be expecting from this build. And since I will be running two monitors, should I have two identical ones or one higher quality one for gaming with the secondary one being more generic. Currently I have my eye on this monitor, but I don't know what I should be looking for.

Sorry for the long winded post, but I like to be thorough. Any advice and opinions would be much appreciated and if I think of anything else, I'll post it in a comment.

NOTE: You do not have to follow this format, but please be sure to answer these questions. Please do not ask to simply be given a build. You are welcome to delete this section.
