I used some other posts to try to build mine up but did some touches myself and was wondering how it is and if I could upgrade it for a cheaper price.

The parts that say are purchased are just for me to know what I have in the savings accounts to buy so I can know what I need to buy. I did order the keyboard though since I am going to use it for now. I plan to buy all the parts by the end of August since I just made this list today and just put a little bit of money for parts.
 
That's a great build. What kinds of games do you play? Two monitors for shooters or RPGs is a no-go as you'll have 3/4" to 1" of bezel splitting uo crosshairs or your character. Better off with a 27" 1440p and a smaller 60hz cheapo for movies/chat/etc.

I mainly play FPS games or GTA V. Sometimes games like Rust and Ark Survival. I will use the second monitor for Skype, teamspeak, steam, movies, or to watch YouTube videos. I also will use it for my PS4 the few times I get on it. I know I could get a 60hz monitor but I have some sort of OCD and need two identical monitors. If it isn't symmetrical, I become very uncomfortable.
