   Hello to anyone that might help. I'm trying to build my first gaming PC and i was wondering if what i have is good to build. If there is any suggestions please i would love to know them considering that i'm new to this and i don't want to miss up or waste my money in the process. I'm thinking i should change the graphics card to a 1060 so its not so expensive and build my way up. Also i don't know what battery to get for this. I know that they're websites for that kinda thing but i don't know if they are accurate. Besides from those two things i like how the rest of items look but again if there is any suggestions you have please swing them my way, it'll help a lot. Thank you fro taking the time to help.

welcome to the forum. I recommend making your list using https://pcpartpicker.com/. It will tell you if you have any compatibly issues, as well as find decent prices for you

 

As far as your components go, you can definitely find a 1080ti for less than what you have listed here, i would check ebay for listings.

As @lmeneses pointed out, you want to make sure you have a motherboard that fits in your case.

For a "battery", or power supply, I'd suggest anything over 600 watts will more than suffice. 

For the cpu cooler, I've heard mixed things about coolermaster AIOs. For your first build, i might recommend sticking to an air cooler.

I recommend using PCPartPicker for doing a parts list, as it's a good way to find parts and it will also alert you if there are some issues with your build, such as has been pointed out with your motherboard being too large to fit in your chosen case.

I have started you off by pre-filling your chosen parts in to a PCPartPicket list. You can edit the list yourself by clicking the link for the list at the top of the list, and then on the PCPartPicker website clicking the "Edit This Part List" button in the top right hand corner of the list. The list excludes the Q300L case as it is not compatible with your build. If you wish to use the Corsair Q300L as your case, we can choose a new motherboard that will fit for you instead.

What monitor are you planning on using with this system? A GTX1080ti is a great card for 1440p or 4k, or high refresh rate monitors, but if you are using a standard 1080p 60hz monitor then it will be wasted and you will get the same experience with a lower card, such as the GTX 1060 you mentioned.

 

For your power supply with the current planned system I will recommend you a good quality 550W unit. I'll help you pick a specific unit after we've looked at some of the other parts in your system, such as whether or not you want to go with the GTX1080ti.

Do you have a budget for this build?

Will you be buying a new monitor (screen) to go with this computer?

Do you need to buy things such as keyboards and mice as well?

Thank you all for replying and i switched my case to a mid tower atx to support my motherboard. Im going to get a ASUS ROG 1070Ti or a 1060Ti with a Curved Samsung Screen that has a 26.9" 2560x1440 144Hz and ima get a 550W battery. For the rest of the stuff like memory, both of the storage, motherboard, and cooler are probably going to be the same. I'm going to do all my buying from the site PCPartPicker thank you for suggesting that it helps a lot.

What's your budget for the computer? 

 

Do you also need things such as keyboard, mouse, speakers/headset?
