I am planning on building a (Gaming) PC. Are those parts good? I'm not going to play heavy games, maybe some FPS games and such, but I'll also edit on it.

Don’t use a 7600k, go for an 9600k or a Ryzen and I assume you won’t be iverclocking with that cooler so you’d be better off with a Ryzen build.

 

edit: why is there an optical drive in there? It’s 2018.

$900 for a two generations old I5 and a 1050TI? nope.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Then can you recommend me something of this price that's better? I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks, I'll edit it a bit, though. I'll probably get a cheaper monitor, since for me refresh rate is not important.

That looks nice! This post made me realize I'm just not good at choosing parts.
