Hello guys. First post here fellas, so be gentle 
So like my title says I'm building a desktop from scratch, since I was rocking in a 6-years-old Toshiba laptop with a i5-2410M and 6Gb RAM. The GPU was shit and after almost 5 years of playing regularly every time I try to do it now it crashes.
I've been seeling Swedish meatballs for almost 6 months now and I've saved enough to make a pretty solid setup (I think), here it goes:
I must state a few things prior to finish: my purposes are for gaming (CS:GO, Skyrim, Shadow of Mordor, etc etc), simulating (Matlab mostly), office and (a little) picture editing (Lightroom and PS).
I know that the CPU isn't high-end sh** but hey IKEA doesn't pays that much over here.
I went for that AOC because I honestly am on a budget and I was trying to take advantage of AMD Freesync!
OH! Almost forgot: the windows 10 for free isn't a typo. Since I'm finishing my masters my college (like almost every world-wide, at least in 1st&2nd world counties) has Microsoft perks nad I'm taking advantage of that. So I can choose between Windows 10, 8 or 7 for free. IKR!!!!
So I would like to have some feedback or opinions on the setup. Or even critics! Or different solutions!
PS: So sorry for the long post.
