Thank you everyone! My First Build!

First

Thanks to the community for helping a complete novice accomplish something good. I've had ZERO experience building computers before, however, I've been a big computer fan myself, so at least I've been exposed to what it takes to build one.

Other

-There was no theme. Just no RGB.

-Already had one 1080p monitor (the one on the right). Purchased a 1440p monitor while on sale for cyber monday. It looks amazing.

-Didn't need any storage. Had a 1TB and 2TB standard hard drive and a 500gb SSD.
