In floatplane.com, click the cog in the bottom left, next to your name, then click "settings". In the tab nav that appears, click "Connected Accounts", then click the refresh icon next to Linus Tech Tips. (The steps are mostly similar to https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/976027-how-to-link-discord-to-your-floatplanecom-account/). If that doesn't work, or it would be easier, you can also log out, then log back in using the LTT forum, as this will also force a resync.

As already said HyperX Clouds are fantastic bang for buck

HyperX Cloud.

HyperX cloud IMO

Looking for people to play league that are lvl 25+ that build the right stuff, and don't act like they're completely brain dead. North America
No feeders, or faze members.
Must have a mic and be willing to use teamspeak or at least skype.
The matchmaking is horrible, people act like it's their first game every game and build the wrong items, and play the wrong lanes with the wrong champs.

I think I will most likely go with the 280, especially because free sink looks promising with it not needing any additional hardware to be added to the monitor. Thank you for replying.

280/280X for sure at that budget.
 
compare performance to the latest and greatest, and you are getting your monies worth:

The build seems appropriate enough. Is this purely for gaming? Since you're going the AMD route, I'm assuming that power consumption isn't an issue? Then I'd recommend what ELSknutson recommended. The R9 280.

Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB Tri-X is a excellent card for this build:

Right now you can get it at Newegg with 15$ mail-in rebate

I would not recommend a cpu cooler. Stock cooler will work just fine, no problem... unless you're doing ultra extreme overclocking which i assume you're not.

I feel extremely dumb posting here, but I've only bought pre-built pc's my whole life. Recently, I've been getting mad at the options I have, and I have decided to attempt to build a computer. As I am very new to this, I've done as much research as I could, and I'm still very lost on what to get. So, me being incapable of figuring out anything by myself, a friend recommended me here.
 
So, what I'm looking for is the most bang for my buck (gaming wise) for a new PC. I have roughly $1k, but as I said before, I've only bought prebuilt PCs so thats my budget for everything, including case, monitor, boot disk, etc. So, I was wondering if you guys could help, I really don't need exact parts, but if you could do that it'll be great, but if anything please just point me in the right direction. As I am new to this, I don't know everything, but I'm relativly sure I've got the basics. Thanks in advanced.

He's new! Give him a break!

You don't need one, nobody needs one. Its abit like a ferrari.
 
However I absolutely guarantee That if you buy a mech keyboard you will be happy with your purchase. They actually make typing fun lol.
