I am completely new at this, and would like some input.
I would just like to know if the following parts are a good combination (and are compatible). I've done what research I can, but I don't know enough about all of this to have an educated opinion.
A few specifics:
I went with a cheaper RAM brand, is that a bad idea?
Is the power supply good/reliable enough for mid-high tier gaming?
I'm planning on adding an SSD down the road, but I'm skipping it for now due to my budget.
Anything missing from this build? (I've already got a monitor and headset)
Will I be bottlenecked by anything?
Will I have sufficient cooling or should I buy more?
Is there anything else I will need to buy to assemble this thing?
Update: New PSU, added an SSD. Substantially more expensive build now. Crossing that $1000 line hurts. Don't want to sacrifice reliability/performance for price, though.
Update 2: New pcpartpicker paste in the replies below, see that listing instead of the one here.
Thanks in advance for any help.
