I am going to build my first pc in about a month but wanted to get advice on the components i decided to add. I am going to primarly game and maybe do some school work aswell. I will be playing games such as Gta V, Fallout, Battlefield 1 and a few others. Also if anyone could recommend a keyboard and mouse for about $100 that would be greatly appreciated. Please inform me of anything i should change or add. Any help will be greatly appreciated. My budget is $2500 for the pc and $100 apart for the keyboard and mouse.

If you're not overclocking, the cooler is fine.  If you do, then I'd get a nice 240-280mm AIO unit.

If the budget has a bit of flex, you might consider going with ssd only storage.

 

There really isn't a need for a 750W psu. 550W is sufficient. But if you are into mail in rebates you might consider the RMx 750W unit in @herman mcpootis build.

 

Microsoft's OEM license agreement for Windows 10 does not permit its use in DIY builds. Hence the full version listed below.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
