1. Do you need Windows 10 Pro?
2. Don't buy McAfee. It's a waste of money as it sucks a lot of resources.

BitDefender Free has been great for me.

I like it.

I would recommend going with 3600mhz cl16 memory, as long as the price is within $20 or so.

I would also recommend spending some more time researching your gaming monitor, as there are a lot of good choices out there, and it plays a big role in your overall experience.

You can get windows 10 keys for about 10$, at least here in germany. You can spend a little less on the power supply. but its fine. If you are just gaming, the 5600x would be a better cpu than the 3800x

One hundred fucking percent on that. It's basically malware itself just by the sheer amount of system resources it consumes and how obnoxious it is to get rid of.

^^^ BitDefender was pretty solid last I checked on it. Malwarebytes or Sophos Home are also good options, or just use Windows Defender, it's good 'nuff if you don't click iffy links. Avoid stuff like Avast and ofc McAfee, they're pretty bleh.
