Update: Switched around some parts at some suggestions.
I'm currently thinking about replacing my current PC with a new one. The one I currently have was made by squeezing all the money I could out of my last few paychecks of a job a had four years ago, so I couldn't go all out like I wanted to.
In that time, I haven't learned much more about building PCs, other than what to look for when upgrading, such as the CPU's clock rate, amount of VRAM and amount of basic RAM.
I was hoping someone could inform me as to whether the current build I'm thinking of, which I will link at the end of this post, will provide good airflow and good cable management.
Also, I suppose, if anyone could offer suggestions as to improve this build a little. I don't want to spend much more than $1500 and I'd prefer to use AMD over Intel and Nvidia parts. I mostly plan on just gaming with this PC, with no intentions of streaming or recording. I also do not plan to overclocking in any way.
Finally, the case I'm looking at includes two fans, one in the front and one in the back, but the fan controller allows for a third one to be connected to it, so I was wondering if anyone had any opinions as to whether or not I should get a third one and where it should be placed.
