Sorry if this seems repetitive. Looking towards building my first gaming PC (it's cheaper and seems more beneficial than just buying one). Also sorry if this is the wrong section to post this, newbies always seem to mess things up somehow, I know. Anyhow I have been looking through Tom's Hardware for the last several weeks now and have been deciding on what parts I should get, do's and don'ts when assembling, tips on certain areas, etc.
Finally I have compiled a list of parts I think should do the job fine.
My budget is around $1500-$1750, though this list is at $1400 I am looking to see if there could be anything to add or upgrade that might be helpful.
I mostly play Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Battlefields, and Rainbow Six Siege.
Reason for building is I want to switch from console gaming to the PC world
(heard it's a lot better anyhow)
So if you could please, leave some feedback. Good or bad; I'll take it either way. Looking for a solution of "YES or No, because.... "
Thanks!
(Sorry for horrible pricing and info scheme, just copied and pasted all info)
