This will be the first time that I am looking to buy computer parts as I am about to build my first gaming PC!  My main concern is sticking to my budget at this point and I was wondering if there are ever sales on these types of higher end computer parts around the holliday season? Thanks pals and I'll leave a link to my parts list below

what resolution are you playing at? if its on the 1080p monitor in your parts list, you could save significant amount and just go with an i5 adn a 1060 6gb

i'm playing 1080 for now with plans to upgrade my monitor down the line for 1440, that was the main reason for the higher cpu and gpu
