Greetings, kind citizens of the forums!
I am building a mid-range gaming pc for the first time in the red/black NZXT H440.
The system is going to be a red themed build with the goal of future "upgradeability" for better specs and aesthetics.
As I am a beginning pc builder, I thought I'd post the list of parts that I have chosen so far. Any suggestions are welcome!
My budget is loosely $1500. As for my monitor I have a widescreen LG 29-inch monitor for productivity and I am looking for suggestions of a good 1080p gaming monitor to go alongside it.

Not much storage, I have a 6tb NAS.
Plenty of GPU power for gaming.
I'm considering upgrading the power supply to a 750W
Thanks in advance for comments and suggestions!
$19 for an H440? Sounds like I was missing out!
