Hey guys, building my first gaming computer and I'm really stabbing around in the dark here. Personally, it feels as though half of my build is the best of the best and very high end, while the other is very budget focused and frankly, quite cheap. I'm not sure if that's good or bad at this point. So I'm essentially hoping for thoughts and opinions here. I'm looking to build a computer to use as basically my be all do all. I've previously gamed mainly on consoles, and I'm looking to switch over to PC as my system now. I'd also be using my computer for music/video streaming, but not for any video or photo editing (at least not anytime soon) and obviously the gaming portion of it. My gaming is mainly focused around pretty graphic intensive games, such as Dark Souls, Elder Scrolls, shooters, etc. with the occasional MOBA thrown in there. My biggest guidelines here would be that I would like to stick with Intel over AMD, as it seems that Intel is the more user/beginner friendly way to go, although I'm not sure how practical it is to have the unlocked Intel as I know near nothing about overclocking or anything of that nature. I'd also like to stay *relatively* cheap, I'd put my max cap around 1800-2000$ range. My build currently uses air cooling, and I'm open to opinions on the air cooling vs liquid cooling debate. Also how necessary is the 1080 vs 1070 for what I would be doing? The biggest "intimidator" for me at this point would be my lack of confidence in myself with assembling this build, which is what makes my shy away from liquid cooling. Also, my current build has an optical drive included because I see at as something that I might as well have seeing as to the relatively cheap price compared to the rest of the build. So I'll try to stop droning on here, Tl;DR, First time build looking for any opinions on improvements, cutbacks on things I may have gone too far on, etc. I thank you all kindly for helping me out, and apologize for the huge explanation, although hopefully haven't left anything important out.
