Hello all,
I've recently decided to try and build my own computer, and it's been plenty interesting so far. How does this setup look so far? Budget is ~$1000, but I probably need a monitor, keyboard, mouse as well. Mostly intended for gaming, but not anything crazy. Also is it worth getting an aftermarket cpu cooler if I don't intend to overclock right away? (Possibly in the future) Thank you!
