Hello amazing experts of this amazing site,
I am going to cut to the chase right now. I am 13 and I have a budget of £1300-£1380. It is my very first Gaming machine (I never had a console), and I would like to build it. I will obviously have my dad and the incredible internet to help me create this. Now my first two questions are: Is making a PC daunting and How can I test the PC once it is finished?
I initially was going to use PC Specialist, but after learning about a certain site called pcpartpicker.com, I had to change. PC Specialist was very limited in the variety of their hardware. However it was a good site. With this new freedom, I am quite idiotic in some respects. So please correct anything in my build and give me your opinions
.
Now that is out of the way, I will tell you kind people about my build.
Here are the Specs:

Now onto my thoughts and last question.
First of all I would like to comment on the CPU, MoBo, Memory and CPU Cooler. Firstly, I was told that I should upgrade to DDR4 RAM by the PCPartPicker forums. I did so and it resulted in a quite costly price of £1382 or $2120.
I felt like this was way too costly and I am might decide to go for the DDR3 option. However, if I am convinced to go onto the DDR4 option, What CPU Cooler should I choose the i5-6600k? Otherwise, I would just like your opinions on this build and what I should do.
Thanks in advance,
Aryadev
PS: The Three Questions are:
1) What CPU Cooler should I choose for the i5-6600k?
2) Is making a PC daunting?
3) How can I test the PC once it is finished?
