Need help with first rig...

[TechGod]

Hi I'm from NZ

 

1. Budget & Location

$2500 NZD in New Zealand

2. Aim

Playing games occasionally, browsing, using Visual Studio for programming and other general computing 

3. Monitors

I plan on purchasing a 1440P monitor that is IPS

4. Peripherals

No need for peripherals 

5. Why are you upgrading? 

Because I have always wanted to build a computer and I only have a laptop at the moment. 

 

This is my current parts list:

Nice good choice on the board. Its from the same family as my B150M from asrock which allows non k CPU overclocking! Atleast I think that one does  check out the b150m pro4/hyper which is available in NZ its same price as some of the h110 boards if you wanted to save money

id build somthing like this instead but that's my choice of case which I perfer over the next one. I added an nvme drive and got slightly cheaper ram which looks better and will match the build better. Added a better cooler too and went with rmi psu as it looks sweet with that case if you don't add the psu cover on the bottom on the 400c. But yea that's just what I'd do

Is that CPU cooler really a good choice? Some people I know that have had it complained about how loud it got.
