Thanks Guys! I also wanted to know if SDRAM can fit into a DIMM slot. Also, unless there are serious issues with the build, or there is a much better build I can do with the same amount of money, please do not recommend a completely new build.

Any Help is kindly appreciated, and Thanks

Get the Cryorig C7. It cools better than the CM hyper212 EVO and is quieter. It comes with its own paste. I'd go up in power supplies if you plan on overclocking your CPU/GPU.

27 inch 1080p tn panel ehhh?
i would defenetly recommend a 24 inch screen 1080p on 27 inch with a tn panel will look a bit washed out.

Thanks! I don't plan on overclocking as this is my first build, and the only reason I got an aftermarket cooler was so that it is not loud (like the stock cooler) and I plan to play games that might heat up the CPU. So if I do overclock later, I will take your suggestion and get that cooler (or another similar one). As for the PSU, I wanted to know if a better one is actually necessary. pcpartpicker says that my build takes 495 watts - a good 155 under the PSU.

Thanks! Could you please explain the difference between the motherboards and why it is better to switch? I am relatively new to this, so bear with me please. Also, what did you mean by tn panel? As I said, I am new to this. What is a tn panel?

Thanks Again

1) cpu cooler coolers better more silent and smaller easier to install, the thermal paste that comes with it is already really good.

2) the gigabyte has got a few more usb ports, but thats really it tbh.
they're bot excellent quality and u don't need to spend more.

3) added a ssd for faster booting up windows, if possible change that ssd to an 850 evo for every better quality and improved times.

4) better quality power supply this was really needed

5) there 2 main type on monitors ips and tn.
tn)-> faster refresh rate but look really bad if u look at the screen a few degrees off.
ips)-> better colour reproduction greater viewing angels but at a cost for input lagg(5ms)
well 5ms pr 1 ms doesn't matter for 60hz but for 144 hz it does.

tn panel monitors look really good noways if u don't exceed 24 inch monitors.
so just lower the resolution a bit and ur good to go.
