is there anything wrong with these parts, im paranoid, im 14 and im going to be building my first pc on the 25th of january but im buying parts now. I have a pc already but its aweful, csgo runs very low setting 45 fps. any help is apriciated.

btw. im not bothered about ssd's and im going to be using a gtx 1050 in this system for a month before upgrading to a 1070. (maybe TI). 1 tb of storage is plenty for me as i only want to play AAA games at 1440p and meduim/high setting with 60 fps or more.
i also want a full red setup so thats why i spent an extra £60-£70 on the led type stuff.

I see you have been using PCPartPicker, that is a good start. Spots a lot of issues but not all. Managed to replicate your build, here is the link.
PCPartPicker part list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6ngxnn

CPU went up, cost came in at £595.62 without a GPU and storage. Your picture cuts off the build at the bottom, not sure if I got everything.

To run well at 1440p you will need a GTX 1070 so your CPU should support that. Issues I see with your build are:

    ■ You are using Skylake CPU and mobo, we are already 2 generations past that platform■Good PSU but maybe not the best price range for this build. It is nice to have the 750W but not required.■ You are mixing two different RAM speeds forcing the mobo to downclock the...

To be honest in this price range I would be looking at a Ryzen build listed below. The sub £200 range gives us the 4-core i5-7600K as competitor, maybe a little better gaming performance but the Ryzen will be more future proof with its additional cores/threads.
