So I have been researching quite a lot about pcs and parts in the last few days and have come up with a part list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dtwgpb

What Ive seen is that its a really good high end ish build and that around 1000 dollars is my budget. I dont have an older computer I could use to get any parts from or anything so I do need to buy Windows aswell (unless I find a way to get it into an external hard drive from my laptop)

But anyway, I just wanted to know if all the parts go together and work fine since Im really not too good when it comes to pc parts. I have a few friends who know about this stuff but Ive been getting really mixed thoughts and I dont know whether to believe them or not. So it would be nice if someone more professional could tell if this build is actually worth it

I assume you want to overclock as you have picked a K cpu and aftermarket cooler. If correct you need a Z170 or Z270 motherboard. If you don't want to overclock you can get the non K 6600 and use the stock cooler to save money. Also if you want to overclock Id recommend a higher wattage and higher quality PSU. If not overclocking that PSU is probably ok but personally Id go for a better quality 500w

Im not actually planning on overclocking just cause I dont really feel like its necessary for me. Im not aware of how it even works and what parts support it so I had no clue. My friend said the cpu cooler would be better than the stock one since its bigger and just all around better. But then again having to work around the cpu even more than just putting it in scares me a lot
