Hello, this is the first time i'm building my computer with custom parts from scratch and wondering if these parts are good, the parts altogether are £2,080 (around 2700$) with amazons current prices, I'm also able to spend more money on the computer parts but i have researched a bit and think the parts I've chosen are good but I want others opinions as you probably know more about computer hardware than me. thanks :)

Very good!

But pretty expensive; you may want to wait for the new AMD Ryzen 7 line to come out which should outperform and be less expensive than the Intel line.
