Hello everyone at toms hardware, after a long session of thinking ive decided to build my own pc as my current one was never really built for gaming and is 5 years old. My budget is $1400~$1600 and after some research i found what seems to be compatible the only problem is no.1 cooling and no.2 obviously if this will all work together and also if i need anything else eg. lights for if its on or off and screws etc. Im not worrying yet about the actual construction as i have 2 very capable friends to help me however i thought it best since they are both busy if i could get the advice here and also what you all think of this as a gaming rig. PS. before i forget my screen is 1920x1080 of the other way around
So without further ado here are my (current) selection of components PS. these are just copy pasted names off amazon
