Hi everyone, the following is my first PC build, so please be nice. Thanks. There are two main reasons why I am posting this. First, I'm not even sure if this build would work, as in if it will fit in my case, if the CPU is with the correct motherboard, etc. I think I got most of it down though. The main problem with this is I'm wondering if my GPU will fit in my case. The second reason is to ask more advanced builders if my PC will bottleneck. Also, my budget is <$1000. Anyway, here is my build:
