My years worth of hard work

[sirFluffyDude]

I have worked very hard to save up enough money to build my own custom computer. After watching linus for close to a year and being on this forum the last couple of moths i finally had enough money to splurge on a computer i was very happy to acquire . i have everything that i need to build the system besides the cpu and ram ( damn fed ex have to wait till Monday now). here is a parts list. i am going to save up more money and get some RGB elements inside the case and more memory storage. going to get another gpu after watching linus new video.

Well, I've seen better, but it should certainly work. At a cost.

 

Good:

• Great GPU
• Nice case
• Good quality PSU
• Decent CPU Cooler

Needs work:

• You dropped $500 dollars on a Motherboard? Do you know what the difference between a $500 and $100 board are?
• CPU choice is questionable, though you never specified what you'll use this for so I assume it is required for your workloads
• Should have gotten 1 32 GB kit of Ram (or 16, do you even need 32?)
• SSD Quality is meh

You overspent, no big deal.  Enjoy the PC.

the cpu will meet the work requirements that i need it too. I knew that the motherboard was over kill ( I relied heavily on the parts that linus talked about in his build logs haha)
I picked the case because of the dust filters, i live in the desert and it is killer on pcs around here. 
as for the ram, i didnt know. I should have come here and asked but i had done so before a couple of months back and didnt buy the parts then ( felt anxiety over asking again about these parts)
I plan on upgrading the ssd in the future.

I should add. the reason i picked the cpu and the ram is because i am currently in school for structural engineering.  some of the programs and software we are using is very intense (damn you numbers). I am hoping that they will run a little faster on this set up then the school ones.  I also plan on using this as gaming rig and do some video editing in my spare time.
