Here's a list of the current parts I have in mind, I'm working with a ~$1600 budget.
This is actually my first complete build, so I'm looking for any opinions/advice about it, if I can make any improvements, or just confirmation that everything will work!
 
Pretty nice selection. If it were me, I would also buy a regular hard drive (not SSD) to store games on. But it is nice to have an SSD to boot up, but after a while of use, they tend to slow down, especially the more load it has. 512 GB will go a ways, but nowadays that games are larger, I would also get another hard drive no matter what just for extra games. But I guess you could always get that later xD It just might be easier to get it now instead of transferring all those files over later on. BTW, I have Windows 10 on my laptop and I gotta say... wow. It's pretty good. My games run a little bit better on that than on my gaming rig! And it's nice too and much better than 8.1.. Hope this helps. Good luck and have fun!
