If there is any type of Hardware listed that I'd be over paying, I would like for people to suggest if there's a piece of hardware that's cheaper, and or if there's been better results with and etc... Example; If the GPU I listed isn't all that great and the Galaxy one is, I'd like that type of information.
Quality parts I don't mind paying a bit for; PSU, Monitor, SSD, Motherboard and Video card. If there's a good quality type that's cheaper, I'd gladly accept. I Just want this build to go smooth.
If I left anything out please tell me, I'm not great at remembering everything, Sorry.
Thanks too everyone for taking their time reading and helping me in this build.
