I'm looking to build a 1080p gaming computer for my first build and I am looking for advice if the parts list I have is good for the price and if anything can be improved upon. I was hoping to stick within the $1,200-$1,300 budget.

 

Would I have any major performance gains with a faster memory? Also would I be better going with an NVMe drive rather than a SATA SSD?

 

What should I expect for thermals in this case with the included case fans and CPU cooler? Would I be better of adding additional fans or replacing the included units?
