Ive seen some benchmarks and it seems like it will hold up to todays standards. But I would like others opinions aswell!

I plan to upgrade in the future but with a highschoolers budget PC building isnt the easiest.

I will mostly be playing competitve games, League, Counter Strike Global Offensive, Rainbow six siege, Overwatch and rpgs like fallout 4 and new vegas, skyrim and mmos like WoW or swtor.

-Dual monitors of different sizes and resolutions is very annoying. You will probably hate it.
-If you are on a budget. You wouldn't get such an expensive WiFi card.
-You don't need the Hyper 212 Evo. That would be better spent elsewhere. Same with the Arctic Silver 5. Neither are very good by today's standards anyway.
-Don't buy a cheap PSU. Get a halfway decent one.

-Z270 is a dead platform. As you plan to upgrade in the future. Get Z370, B350 or X370.

Alright, thank you. I opted for the more expensive wifi card because I thought that it would be the best option, but thank you for changing my mind on that one.

Thanks for giving me advice about the monitors and the thermal paste. I am new to the world of PC gaming and building.

As for the cooler should I just use the stock one or no?

WiFi: The only reason I could see getting the more expensive card is if you have a really bad signal. Although in such circumstances I would recommend Powerline Ethernet adapters over WiFi. They generally work faster and are more responsive. The only reason I don't now is budgetary. As the only ones I'd recommend are the TP-Link AC1200, AC1750, AV1200 or AV2000 kits. As they work much better than older adapters I've used. The WiFi models also give you an Wireless access point.

With any WiFi adapter. Computer cases kill signal strength. Since the antenna has some reach. Make sure the case is never in between the antenna and the router if you try to visualize the direct line of sight.

Cooler: Stock is fine for now. You can get a decent overclock out of it. The only aftermarket coolers worth getting to replace it start in the $50 range. Such as the Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B or Cryorig H5 Universal. They aren't necessary now. You can always get one later if you want to make your system quieter or get an extra 0.1Ghz to 0.2Ghz OC.
