Hey Community!

I am trying to build a somewhat high end gaming computer, and because it is my first build I am not entirely sure if what I have would be a balanced build so that there is no one thing being a bottleneck to the rest of the system... If any of you are savvy in the specifics of all of that any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
