Hey guys It's gonna be black friday soon and I'm looking into building my first gaming pc. These are the parts I have selected. Standard 1080p gaming no editing or anything strenuous like that. Anyone have any suggestions or does it look good? I didn't do much research into the monitor but it has good reviews so I chose it for it's low price, ips panel, and good looks.
 
Solution
Good Build but I think your paying a bit too much for the mouse and keyboard.
I also highly recommend getting a better motherboard. ATX Motherboard for sure not an MicroATX.

Looks good to me.

Btw, IIRC Best Buy is offering a $50 steam card with the purchase of a G502 on Black Friday. You would need to check their ad to confirm, though.

That monitor is good. The H236HL has been on-sale for $150 recently though, if you want a bigger monitor.
