So I'm planning to build a new PC, which should be able to get at least 60 fps at max settings on 1080p on most games. It also should include a bunch of RGB lighted stuff cos i really want a PC that looks really cool, that's why I chose the case which I think isn't ideal but i just love how it looks. So here

Too much spent on things like rgb/ram/mobo/cooling if your goal is just 1080p.  Do you have a monitor picked out or have you already bought one?

Try using the PSU Tier List! 

How to reset the bios/clear the cmos

Ram: 1x16gb DDR4, 2x8gb DDR4

Storage: 1tb nvme ssd

I haven't picked out a monitor yet, but I'd be happy if you could recommend me some alternatives for the things you said that were too expensive.

Well you don't need that much power for your PSU, try looking for something around 500-550watts. Same brand G3 550 sells for around $60 bucks

On Kinguin you can get a Win10 key for like $30

 

What is your budget for the monitor?

 

If you're not in love with the case and still want RGB I can suggest the NZXT h500i RGB. about $40 bucks cheaper

I don't really have a budget for a monitor, because I haven't looked into what i would have to pay for a good monitor, but I'd say it should be below like 800 if that's possible for a monitor, It preferrably should be a 144hz monitor, and maybe even 4k but I don't know if that would be too expensive.

Well you said 1080p. you can find TONS of monitors at around $200 usd with 144hz/1ms.

 

Now you need to decide things like:

 

size - 24" or 27" or bigger

TN panel/IPS, etc

do you want FreeSync or GSync

Do you want it to be able to Vesa mount

And also with the 4k thing, I only want to game on 1080 p but 4k is also nice for other purposes such as Netflix or any other stuff
