That there is my PC Build. I am wondering if there are any things I need to upgrade or if there is anything I should replace for something else. I just need to make sure I don't spend more money than I should or buy something that isn't compatible. Thanks for your help!

I don't feel like spending over $1000 on a monitor so I just went with a 60Hz 4k monitor. Thanks about the SSD. I will add one. Is the Samsung 850 EVO SSD good? It has 500GB and goes for around $150.

The 850 Evo is great. I have the 120 GB version and I love it.

I have 2 EVO's and they're top notch, however you have an M.2 dock, Samsung 950 256 Gb or 512 Gb will give you unparalleled performance. You will of course only have 8x Lanes available for your GFX card, not that you'll ever use all that bandwidth anyways.

You can probably go a little cheaper on the motherboard. The sweet spot for motherboards is at around $150.

If this is just a gaming rig then you don't need 32GB of RAM. 16GB is more than enough.

All that money, and no SSD? Seriously? Spring for an SSD.

I would recommend getting a keyboard from WASD or Das rather than from Razer or any brand that markets itself as for "gamers." Get something from a company that caters to keyboard enthusiasts. Chances are it will be better quality at around the same price. Also, if this is your first mechanical keyboard make sure to test out the switches to see if you are going to like them before you buy your keyboard.

I don't see a rodent. I assume you're keeping your current mouse?

I added a 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO for an SSD. I will look into some other keyboards, and look into another motherboard. I changed it to 16GB of RAM. Also, I actually am keeping my current mouse.

Update: Thanks for telling me about the other keyboards. I decided to get one from WASD keyboards and they look alot better.

Can you recommend a better power supply and a good, silent cooler?

The NEX series is a low end, cheap PSU series. Get GS/G2 at least.
