Hey everyone im new to the forum and i decided to build my very own first gaming pc. Im familiar with assembly and all that but i dont know if all the parts that i picked are the ones that i need. Like is there anything you experts would recommend for me?

-which companies are reliable
-which manufacturer makes better mobo's, gpu's, coolers , etc..
-am i over paying for any of the parts?
-will it be able to run games at ultra high settings without getting hot?

If you are probably not going to overclock, then you should probably stick to a non-K CPU from Intel. Also, I think you could get better for cheaper.

It is a bit more expensive by about 20 dollars, but it has a significantly better graphics card, and an ROG motherboard. Although now you do not have the unlocked multiplier. You can still overclock, it has been proven, just not as much.
