Despite being a longtime gamer, this is the first time I am attempting to build my own gaming PC. I have a budget of about $1,000-$1,200 for the build.

Here is my parts list from pcpartpicker.com

Just want to know if these parts will all work together well, and if not, what I should change.

Thanks.

Agreed. I assume the reason you chose it is because it was cheap. In this case, you get what you pay for.

I would also consider a different PSU. Perhaps an EVGA or XFX.

Thanks for the advice. For the PSU, would the Cooler Master VSM 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply be a good replacement? And for the SSD, the Samsung 850 EVO 120GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E120B/AM)?

Thanks
