Hello! I'm going to order all my parts tomorrow, and was wondering if any changes should be done before I order them. I'm ready for PC is Master Race :3 it's going to be my 1st build, so any advice would be nice too (I've also watched many YouTube vids). Thank You.

Get a budget SeaSonic power supply and you will be gold.

I see the others have already helped you fix the power supply issue, but I do highly recommend squeezing in some extra cash for an SSD, at least a 128GB drive. It will do you so much good, you will be glad that you got one.

Some good recommendations - Samsung 850 EVO, Crucial MX100, MX200, and BX100, Kingston HyperX

Theyre not that expensive, I believe the HyperX 120GB comes out to around $50 and it will make such a noticeable difference, so worth the extra few bucks.

Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red)

Also, any advice when I'm building it? :o

Make sure everything is plugged in all the way in in the right place.  This is the #1 mistake first time PC builders make and you'll feel silly if this is the reason your computer doesn't boot.

Yes Yes Yes

 

You won't regret that faster Windows boot time!

Cant tell if sarcasm or not but an SSD helps with much more than just making your PC boot from cold quickly...

If you think otherwise, you have not done your research.

No, not sarcasm, I promise

 

That just happens to be my favorite thing about SSDs: the MUCH faster boot times

 

And I have done plenty of research, thank you very much

An SSD would be really nice! But I'm at the tip of my budget, I need an extra $7 for it! xD

Ight good :P I hate when people try to argue against SSD's. They have either never owned one or have a crappy one and then try to argue that theyre a waste of money.
