Thanks for all the help everyone with my previous thread:
(First Entry-Level (upgrade-able)Gaming PC for a first-time builder)

I've updated the list since yesterday (and will probably continue updating until I have each part in-hand), but so far, this is the new list:

1. Case – AeroCool Mid-Tower Gaming Case (my brother and I decided we like this the best)
2. GPU (graphics card) – Gigabyte Radeon Rx 470 G1 Gaming 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Cards GV-RX470G1GAMING-4GD
3. Operating System – Windows 10
4. CPU (central processing unit) – Intel Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
5. Motherboard – MSI Gaming intel skylake
6. PSU (power supply) – SeaSonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
7. Storage:
- Sandisk SSD PLUS 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
- Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
8. Video Card = Asus Radeon RX 470 4GB STRIX Video Card
9. Memory = MSI Gaming Intel Skylake H110 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Micro ATX H110M Gaming

I'd also love advice on a decent monitor. I consider that a separate expense from the rest of this. I plan to test out a 4K monitor eventually, because i'm not sure if I would even like it and I'm curious about the difference in quality.

Again, any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

In my previous thread I had the budget at $500 - $700 for an entry-level Gaming PC.

I'm just looking for a machine to start with that I don't have to completely trash when I have more experience and want to upgrade in the future.
4K is the least of my concerns, but I would like to understand someday what a PC needs to run it efficiently.
