I’m planning on building a system later this year based around gaming and have a part list picked out. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or comments on the build. Also note this is my first time building a computer but it seems easy enough.

Expensive builds are easy to plan out because price is less of a concern. Building them is the difficult part.

How is it different from building a budget PC?

1000 Watt PSU is a little much for that build, could save some money go with something lower.

Agree with this. Go for 850 or something of the likes and you will be very power efficient.

Budget PC: It's done as long as it posts

 

Expensive PC: Noooo that wire is 0.1mm away from where it should be! Yikes! Why is the graphics card sagging by 2mm? MUST correct that! WTF did I forgot to order custom sleeved cables with RGB?

Ah ok. I guess that just depends on the person.

While I agree the OP should go with an 850 and it would work well a 1000 watt isn't going to consume more power so it's going to be very power efficient being a Platinum rated PSU either way.
