I'm kind of new to this PC community so I thought about building my first PC. I've been reading a lot of articles, watching tutorials, watching YouTubers (Linus Tech Tips, TechSource, etc), listening to what my peers say about build a PC and why it's better advantage to console gaming. I've been on a console for at least 7 years and never actually gamed on a PC. Now I think I'll have to move away from that old crappy outdated Xbox 360 and start a better gaming experience so I'm trying to get people to give me some tips about my first build because I am a novice so it's my first time building.

I'll give you guys a link to my list of parts to take an overview of it.
