I've been mulling over my parts list for my first PC build for months, and think I've finally decided on all the parts I'd like. I've tried to do my best to check out compatibility (CPU Fan with RAM clearance, socket compatibilities, etc) and I think I'm okay, but I'd love a second opinion, mostly on compatibility.

I have not added a GPU to the list because I am waiting for their prices to die down (or maybe they'll just go up forever and ever and I'll just end up buying at a higher price).

If you have any suggestions that you don't see, those are welcome as well, but I'm pretty sure unless there are compatibility issues or a really good reason to switch materials, this is the build I will follow through with.

Please note that I've already purchased the CPU, monitors, keyboard, and mouse, so those won't be changed ;) TIA!!

It's ok but if you change the SSD you can get a better PSU. The 1060 6gb would pair well with it.

Honestly, I don't know quite yet. I'm not a PC gamer right now, but I'd like to play around here and there someday. I was thinking a 6GB 1060, but if prices come down enough, I'd buy better. But I don't see myself becoming some hardcore gamer, so I don't think I'd ever need or utilize a 1080 or something similar.
