Hi, so I am new to building pc's and I want to see if the build that I have created on PCPartPicker is a good one. I do not want to use my money on a pc that may not even be that good. So if you have a chance can anybody give me some suggestions on how my build is? I will mostly be using this pc for gaming. (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6vMwf8)

I would supplement the storage with a HDD. (2 TB would be best size to price ratio)

I would get the Samsung 960 EVO instead of the Intel 600p.
The price is almost the same but the performance is NOT.

Other than that suggestion it looks like a well balanced/priced system.

Two obvious suggestions are HDD for data files and more RAM. If however you are limited by budget, those would be considered first upgrades. You could also use faster RAM, although performance bonus is not that big.
Otherwise, good build with no weak points.

Thanks! But one question about the Windows 10 OEM key, I don't know if I should get the OEM key (as I heard it only works on one motherboard once installed) or the Full version (I heard it works on the pc no matter what you change). This topic confuses me a little.

I have somewhat of a budget, if I add an HDD how large should I get it (as I have a 512gb SSD). I will probably upgrade my RAM at a later time.

Would a Western Digital 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive do the job?

WD Blue with those specs is a great choice.
