I want opinions on this, and if it can be improved in any way.
I did a post like this a couple days ago, I got quite a bit of help.
If this is good, I'll be buying all the components within the next couple days.

(I want to game on the monitors listed there)

All I did was change the Power supply, otherwise your builds great https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/8jZZd6

Everything is good? Alright, thanks.

Why the white RAM, the extra monitor, and the wireless card? I'd suggest getting a better single monitor than two mismatched ones. On a desktop you should always use the hard wired connection if at all possible - it is much better and more stable for gaming. And on that budget you should definitely have an M2 drive, and if you're going liquid you should get a 280mm radiator, not a 140mm one. This is what I would suggest:

I chose the extra ultrawide monitor just for multi-tasking, whether it be watching a stream on it or on facebook while playing games on the gaming monitor.
I chose the wireless network adapter because I don't have access to wired, since I'm 16 and my room is on the 2nd floor of my house and the router is on the 1st floor. Despite that, I average 23MB/sec on wireless.
And the white RAM, I don't know. I just chose it.

What you should do is get a single, good monitor right now and then add the second one if you feel you need it, otherwise it's spending money that doesn't need to be spent. If you do go with Wifi for your desktop, a range extender would be a wise investment. Otherwise playback on Wifi would be extremely choppy.

Get the RGB RAM, it's worth the extra few dollars. And it will go better with that Corsair RGB Crystal.

Already updated the list with the RGB edition. I like having 2 monitors, I'm running it with my current setup, except they're crappy monitors. I have the money to get the extra monitor anyway. Thanks for the help though. I'll get a range extender.

Just a quick question but what is your plan with this build?

My plan is to game with a good frame rate, and do stuff on the second monitor while gaming, of course.

Nice...But to nitpick:
Use two of the same HDDS or save a little and just get one large one. Identical drives should be a little easier to manage and you can run them in an array more easily while a single drive is just neater.
The Corsair SP fans are outperformed by other, often quieter parts.
I'll never be a fan of AIO CPU coolers, a half decent tower will do the job just as well for less cash and hassle.

None of the above NEEDS to be changed, your choices are sound, (I take it the fans are for bling? 😉 ) just offering my 10 cents worth.

I see your point. The fans are partially for bling with the RGB to match the build... But I've never tried AIO, so I'm interested to see how it'll perform. Once again, case is for bling and it's inspired from another good build.
I'll do that with the HDD.

 

[coozie7]

No harm in a little bling. 😉

With that build then yes, if you were going to do any content creation, I was going to say do a Ryzen build. It is good. listen to the guy about the HDDs, which you are. I know someone talked about changing the SSD with an M.2 which would be a good change, the Samsung 960 evo.

You don't necessarily *NEED* an M2 drive - they're definitely a step up from your standard SSD for sure, but as a necessity, pretty much any solid SSD will do as long as its' not a cheap one.

True but at the price that he is looking at, should include a M2 drive.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll be doing a completed build thing on PCPartPicker, and post it on here when everything's done. Ordering it all tomorrow.
