About to purchase the parts to build my first PC.

Any suggestions and/or concerns before I go through with it?

The system looks good.

 

I couldn't give any feedback, because for a budget build that is very good.

Well, if you have another windows 10/7 based PC lying around, go get the windows 10 media creation tool and get your OS from that, You will need a flashdrive though, which you could A. Borrow or B. Buy for $10~ dollars. I would also buy this 960, overwatch will be a bit more demanding. http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-2962-RX and http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-W1-0600-RX from EVGA directly.

At first I thought that was a good idea, but then when I tried to order it i realized that they take forever to ship, and the cheapest shipping option costs $8.
