get a better and bigger ssd. 120gb won't last long. Something like a 240 gb 850 evo will be much better.

I would be weary of MSI. Since you want opinions I'll say they're not very good. I've had two motherboards and a graphics card fail on me over the past ten years. I'm sure there are many many people that have had no problems but I don't take it lightly when it happens consistently to me. 

 

Aside from that it looks good. Maybe a 1060 over the Radeon and a 250GB SSD if you're going to be gaming. I liked running games off the SSD for faster loading times. Your case doesn't have a drive bays btw

Just to reiterate what others have said, you don't need the extra thermal paste (some comes with the 212) and get a larger and faster ssd (850 Evo, 250gb+)

Some of the items in that list are accessories and they're not important to the main part of the build. They can be purchased later on. Those items are

- Xbox 360 PC controller

- Keyboard Mat

- USB 16GB flash drive

- Thermal Paste, the CPU cooler already comes with one and can last a few CPU swaps.

- Screwdriver, the only one you need is a Philips. It's basic household tool, don't need to buy another one.

- Velcro Cable ties, can be reused, but it also adds thickness to the overall wire management. Get a 100 pack of zip ties, they cheaper.

- Wifi card, how far is the router and your computer. Not far and it's reachable by cable, then use that.

Thanks man. I'd prefer to get them when I get the parts in a few weeks. I've switched to zip ties, and removed the extra paste. I'm not sure on distance as I'll be moving to a flat; so I'm just covering all tracks.

Why is the S340 added as an Other item?

I change the merchant to Amazon, and the price wouldn't display.

Buy your parts after moving to your new flat. Things gets lost when moving house.

Definitely! I was just buying the GPU for now and storing it away, then purchasing the rest later. This GPU is popular and out of stock in some places, however.

 

Thank you for your help. :)
