First PC Build Recommendation

[JamCay]

Hey guys, I'm planing on to make my first PC build, trying to have a white theme. Seriously have to idea if all my chosen parts fit and are compatible. Thinking about putting an air cooler like a deepcool gammamaxx GT. what's a nice white air cooler just for aesthetic and M.2 Please feel free to drop some suggestion and knowledge.

Don't pay that much for Ram, especially as it costs more than the actual board. The RTX 2060 is a bit faster than the GTX 1070.

 

The MSI board is ok I guess. Not really many options if you want a White board.

Also the i5 9400F is a lot cheaper, but you need a bios update for B360. If you can confirm that the MSI board is up to date then go with the i5 9400F. There is no igpu with this cpu but you have a discreet gpu so no issue.

The board doesn't have wifi built in so if you need a wireless connection then yes grab a wireless network adapter.

 

Something like this:

You can get usb type adapters but no idea how good/bad they are. You would have to look for a review etc.

I agree with @lee32uk , don't pay that much for the RAM, even if it looks cool with RGB  I would perhaps put it into a M.2 NVMe drive instead of the SATA-600 one.
