Hello everyone. Prior to this, I previously had made a post here and one on Newegg requesting a build that was equivalent to what Digital Storm was offering in its Vanquish 5 (Lvl 4) at a lower price.

After taking a look at three different builds that I was given, I tried to compare parts in terms of the best reviews and best value for each one and I put together this list myself.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

I spent a decent amount of time comparing each individual part across the three builds I was given, but because I am very new to PC gaming and don't know much about computers, I'd like to know what an expert thinks. Are all these parts compatible? Am I getting the most value for my money? Are there any individual parts that would be better than what I have here?

Please let me know what you think.

Nice build! Very high end components for a first time build. If i had that kind of money i would probably build a similar pc.

Personally i would go for an Asus mobo but this is just preference as i like Asus more than MSI.
Maybe i would also pick a different CPU cooler like the coolermaster Evo or a noctua cooler as they are the best.
