Does this look good for a first build?

[Kernel_1]

Hello everyone.

I've been doing a lot of research on building my first PC and was wondering if people could have a quick look over the parts and let me know if it all looks good. I'll just be using it for 1080 gaming and light office work

The cooler, motherboard, video card, and disc drive are not a part of the total price listing. so that would be WAY more than $734

I recommend spending less on the cpu and motherboard and more on the video card. You should also get a better psu.

Get an i5 6500 + H170 motherboard and that should allow you to get a GTX970, R9 390, or maybe even the RX480 without raising the total cost of the build.

I was able to chop off over $100 while getting a better psu at the same time.

I kept the unpriced parts still to reflect the savings.

I will look into a better PSU then thank you. The only thing I ask is does 550W leave me much room to upgrade in the future?

I do agree with you about the GPU and that was the first thing I'd upgrade. I wanted to future proof it as much as possible but it is also for work so me playing games at ultra or high settings isn't a priority right now.

I do like your change to the memory though and I realise those prices aren't there but I was aiming for about $1200 and its right in that ballpark

A good 550w psu is strong enough for any current single video card and future video cards are only going to get more efficient. If you think you may use two video cards in the future, which I don't recommend, you would need a 750-850w psu and also a more expensive z170 board.
