So say I don't need an operating system because I already have one, (I apologize,I didnt know what OS stood for, this is my first time building a computer), what could I upgrade with the money I would have spent on that OS?

Do you think a 550w will be enough to power it all? I just wanna be sure nothing poops out on me. Thank you very much for the suggestion, I appreciate you taking the time to do that!

Yes, enough PSU if you don't plan to heavy OC (you can't on the CPU tho) or SLI. Pretty much that's a high tier pc build, monitor is basic but really cheap and will let you buy a 144 HZ later and sell that one.

If you can add some bucks for a considerable boost on the performance you can buy a NVMe 960 evo SSD instead the 850 evo, your mobo support that M2 and is way faster than the SSD 850.

Here it is:

8400 are all out of stock in all stores but BH let you pre order so there is a chance.
