This is my first full desktop build.

 

Parts I already had from a prebuilt:

Case: Thermaltake Suppressor f31

Psu: Sentey 725w (non-modular) 

Gpu: Sapphire Nitro AMD R9 390 8gb

DVD Drive: Asus (Some cheap model..)

Hdd: WD Blue 1tb

 

Parts I bought: 

Cpu: i7-7700k @ 4.8

Ram: Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz (White Led) 

SSD: Samsung 960evo 250gb m.2

Mobo: Msi z270 Pro Carbon

 

Hopefully, I'll be able to upgrade the  gpu in the future. If you have any suggestions on a budget decent quality 2k monitor let me know!

I think you're rather solid, depending on the monitor you have that gpu should run just fine.  Remember most games aren't made specifically for the newest hardware, they always keep the budget laptop players in mind because that is the largest player base.  You can always run at higher fps and graphics setting's but this rig will run decent for quite some time as is.  The gpu is indeed the weak point but as I've failed to learn, it's best to be happy with what you have.  Just something about getting those clocks frames and timings lmao.  Anyways this machine will run 1080p for years, however if you want to go for a stronger monitor the gpu would be the biggest improvement.

Audio go Brrrrrr

Some wise words that I can definitely agree with. Thanks!
