I posted about 5 weeks back about a build but ended up spending $1500 on a new exhaust system for my car so the computer had to wait a few weeks. I'm ready to get it now and wanted some feedback on how this setup looks. This will be my first time building my own pc, I need to replace my 3 year old cyberpower and after the headaches I've had with this machine over the years, I'll never buy another prebuilt computer again so I wanted to give building my own a shot.

Like I said this will basically be used for gaming and normal internet use and thats about it. I did want to hook up dual monitors to this so I was wondering if the mobo and gpu are compatible for that and if the psu is enough to handle a dual monitor setup.
Also I need this to be able to connect to my wifi network as my modem/router is hooked up to the computer downstairs and this computer will be in my bedroom so I'm guessing I need a wireless adapter?
