First time gaming build advice

Robotic Taco · Nov 13, 2017

This is my first PC build, and I was wondering if you guys can find any issues or suggestions for it. I am planning on using it for gaming. Am I missing anything? Also what is the format of the Windows 10, I assume it's a flash drive?

This is the flash drive version , that is a disc.

You can also create your media on another 64 bit PC to use on yours , you can create your own USB.

Looks like a solid mid-high tier gaming build. Just do me a favor. With these parts, don't screw up building the pc, ok? That's a lot of money for a first timer.

Really? Why would you buy an older generation CPU when you could get an i5-8400? And you also don't need the 212 Evo for a locked CPU.
