I'm not the greatest when picking out parts so any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated, and we will most likely go to microcenter for some/most parts.

But if you remove the aftermarket cooler you've got a nice backbone to drop in a higher spec'd GPU if and when GPU prices drop.

I'm liking your suggestion more. Addition of the m.2 is great, didn't even think of it at the time. I was also thinking a 1050ti but wasn't to sure thats why I put the 3gb 1060 in there. I'm hoping GPUs will drop soon. But we will see.

Thanks again Lutfij.
