Hi everyone, i am a relatively new member of the community and i am looking for advice as to what parts i should choose for a new build, this will be used for gaming, programming and slight photo/video editing but not anything heavy like working with raw 4k.I have two options for a case, the corsair obsidian 750D and Phanteks Enthoo pro. I will also need all peripherals such as monitor(IPS Preferably), keyboard(Browns or equivilant), mouse, headset/speakers etc...

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English as it is not my first language

Edit: Forgot to mention that i prefer asus/evga motherboards, as the mobo is something that i do not want to skimp on.

Welcome to the forum!
In order to give you proper advice, we'd need to know where you're buying the parts from.

Without that information, what we suggest is basically useless as part prices vary wildly country to country.

Admittedly the Noctua kinda ruins the whole color scheme of the build as an alternative you could get a H110 or something.
