This is my first build. I want to get the best gaming pc possible bang for buck sub $1500. Im playing on a 1920x1080 resolution monitor. Hate the look of the Noctua DH-14 but Im not sure if Im ready for custom loop liquid cooling - and not sure its entirely necessary with a build like this. I am curious about over clocking and will most likely end up doing so, even if just slightly.
As far as I know, checking the Noctua compatibility page, this motherboard with these ram sticks are good to go.
My PSU might be overkill but it gives me some wiggle room for the future and some neat options to play around with - still open to other suggestions. Especially because I read polar opposites on brand reliability depending on the forum.
