So I'm buying a new pc for around $2000 (with peripherals). I managed to get what I wanted for a little more than $2000. If anyone knows a lot about pc builds, I would like to know if the parts are all compatible or if I should change something (I'm not gonna buy a liquid cpu cooler). Would I be able to overclock? I'm new to PC building so I need tips. Thanks. P.S. I'm probably going to use ethernet but I still want the wireless network adapter.

Main parts all look good

Kingston UV400 is not very good at all, a very poor implimantation of the Toshiba TLC chips.
Frankly all the new budget drives bessed off of Toshiba TLC are slower then most of the previous generation drives.
For the amount of money you are spending on this rig you should settle for nothing less then a Samsung or Crucial drive..

Would suggest an EVGA G2/G3 over Corsair PSU

Instead of paying $30 on a wifi card, get an AV1000 powelrine kit instead. These provide better real world speeds then wifi (when 2-3 walls away from router) but more importantly they have less latency (faster ping) which is more important for gaming then mbps speed.
Naturally if possible you should be using hardwired ethernet as nothing...

Everything looks good to me. But why did you get two 1TB drives? You can look into getting an SSD. Also, not too sure about getting a WiFi adapter for a desktop. It you are gaming on it (which I can assume from the 1080Ti), I would invest in a powerline to have a more stabled connection. Obviously, the best bet is be as close to the router as possible (within 100m), but if not, powerline is your best choice. Other than that, looks like a sick build, and you should be very happy with it.

I appreciate your feedback. I'll look into getting an SSD with greater storage. I do plan on using ethernet about 2 feet from the router, however sometimes I travel with my current PC and sometimes it's a struggle to find a way to have WiFi.

A 1080Ti for a 1080p Screen is just burning cash.
A 1080 is more than sufficient for this screen, even a 1070 at high-ish settings on AAA games

To OC mildly the setup is alright, for higher OCs I'd suggest the Cryorig H5 or Scythe Mugen Max as cooler

I completely agree that a 1080 ti is way too overkill for 1080p, however I plan to buy a second monitor thats 1440p or 4k so the 1080 ti is really worth it. The only reason I chose 1080p was because of budget. And yes, I know that if I'm buying a $2000 pc with a 1080 ti in it I should be able to afford a 1440p or 4k monitor but I'm only 15.
