Trying to build first pc, graphics cards are hard to get so I got a 1070 ti from a friend for free, trying to keep it under $900 but I don't care if it goes up to $1000

 

Just looking for any suggestions on things that I am under spending or over spending on or any alternative products since I don't really know what I am doing, thanks

 

I just want to run modern games at 60 fps on medium to low settings if necessary

You can get a windows key for cheap online, so I took that off the list. The 4000D Airflow case comes with enough fans too.

 

Went with a much better psu option, as well as more storage space. Modern AAA titles, including FPS games, take up a lot of space. You'll want at least a solid hard drive for that, but thankfully your budget allows for an even better SSD option. Recommend using the 500GB M.2 NVME SSD as your boot drive and for your basic applications, and etc. Then recommend using the WD Blue 1TB SSD as your game drive.
