Ive been PC Gaming since 2010 and now im just getting around to Building my first Rig haha I know its late i've always been that guy who bought pre built pc's.

Here's what ive come up with so Far https://pcpartpicker.com/list/66NjXP I was initially trying to keep it under 1000$ but its a little bit over that as you can see. Any tips on improving the build or making it cheaper with no performance drop would be appreciated.

Here is what the build consists of in Text -

Looks good! Only thing I would suggest changing is the cooler, from a Hyper 212 EVO, to a Cryorig H7, as it has better performance, and runs quieter. If you have a bit of money to spare (you could save some by getting slower ram, as it will not effect performance), is getting a newer ssd. I would recommend a 250gb Samsung 850 evo.
