@Jamie_Taylor_4200 Thanks for all the help. How do you think the whole build is in general? (Including monitors and peripherals) Also, do you have any recommendations for cheap desks/tables? I would love to get something with quite a bit of space to put my PC on and have a section for my laptop and a small work area for school and what not.

Overall your build is quite the little beast and could easily handle games at 4K Ultra

Here is the desk I use it's really big and lots of draws to store stuff http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/desks/desk-computer-desks/alex-linnmon-table-white-spr-59932698/ not 100% sure if it's available in the USA

About 4k, I decided to go with a 1440p 144hz 27 inch monitor after talking about it with some people. I really really REALLLYYY wanted an ultrawide or 4k but I realized it won't get the same performance and is a lot lower Hz... maybe in the future I will add another monitor.

Sounds like a good plan but it it was me i would get a 4k monitor, No you wont get as many fps but it will still get around 60fps on ultra. Skip the video to 5:20

I'll think about it and compare prices and what not. Its a hard choice because boy do I love my high performance.

Performance is good but to me, i would trade 10 fps for a higher resolution. Put it like this you get with a 1080 TI 1080p @ 75fp or 2160p @ 60fps to me the 2160p seems like a better deal but you know it's up to you

@That_PC_Kid @Jamie_Taylor_4200 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6Zm2cc Any final thoughts? I'm curious to know if the parts will go well with the case. I was planning to get some LEDs to light up the case aswell. Are there any small little parts that'll help a lot? I have seen some people use cable extensions or cable covers or something like that. Not sure if there is anything else that helps a lot when building a pc but if yall have any suggestions let me know.

Change the PSU. The Corsair TX650M is much better, and at $60, cheaper than the NEX. It's only semi modular, but if you're fine with that, it's a much better buy.

What are the different modulars? I don't really get what they mean or do

Yeah I was looking at that Phanteks... which one do you prefer and which one would be easiest to build in and manage cables?

I prefer the Phanteks case. Both are great for cable management.

Non-modular means that all the cables (except the one going to the power plug), are attached. These are generally the cheapest.

Semi-modular means only the 8-pin CPU, and 24-pin ATX cables are attached. The rest can be removed.

Full-modular means all the cables can be removed

So you think i'll be fine if I go with the Corsair TX650M?

You could get white cable sleeves to go with the white aesthetic and as for other accessories get the NZXT Hue+. It's a LED hub. Watch some videos on it.
