I am building a pc for the first time and am open to any recommendations on how to change my build or to address any compatibility issues. My budget is currently about $1400. Here is the build I have so far. I want a great pc that is both great for gaming, and good at media tasks, as well as some solidworks, CAD, engineering programs stuff.

Thanks in advance!
