I am building a PC to mainly play games on. The main thing is for it to be able to run Fallout 4 smoothly on high graphics, and new games for the next few years.
I essentially have decided on this build, I just want clarification on if all the parts will work together, or if there are any bottlenecks or if I'm overspending on anything. The total cost of these parts is $1598, ideally I wouldn't be spending too much more than that, I'd prefer to spend less if possible.
Thanks for the help
