I have been gaming with pc's for a long time and I absolutely love it, Unfortunately I have always bought pre built computers and I am finally going to build my own after years of buying cheaply made overpriced parts.

I honestly know very little of computers and any criticism or advice for my future build is greatly appreciated.

Good build. One small alteration is the addition of a SSD, and the tweaking of some brands.
