This is my first ever build, so I can use all of the help I can get. I am just wondering what you all think of this potential build. I would also appreciate it if I can get some tips on saving money on this build (downgrading ever so slightly will be okay depending on the part). Also, if you would suggest waiting for later on sales or even some Black Friday sales/Cyber Monday sales, be sure to let me know.
