First Build Need Advice

[mholm1031]

I am building my first pc and have tried to do a bunch of research for the best build without blowing a ton of money. I'm still new to how a cpu and gpu will work together and all that jazz so I would be more confident with more opinions on what I've got so far. Here it is:

The set up is meant to be used on a 1080p 144hz 1ms monitor and I left out my peripherals because I just want to price the PC itself without a keyboard, mouse, etc. I also wouldn't mind cutting some budget for cheaper parts if I'm overdoing it or something like that. Thanks in advance for whatever you guys can help me with

First, if this is your first build then I guess you don't know how to overclock... so a K CPU is no good for you (it is good but you are just paying more).
Second, do not buy a mini GPU if you not planning on going with a mini atx build.
I suggest you go with Ryzen any way because you get a lot more for your money compers to Intel.
This is the part I recommend you buy: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gW9Hjy
200$ less than the Intel system and better, with the 200$ saved you can upgrade your GPU to an RTX 2070 for even better performance

For a first build I would not advise buying overclocking oriented parts. Since you want high refresh rate gaming, you'll want to prioritize the videocard, and all you need to do is make sure your CPU is adequate for now with some headroom for later. A Ryzen based system is ideal for this, since the core and thread count are generous. There's nothing particularly difficult about overclocking, it's just that I think for your first build you'll have plenty to do getting your system properly configured, tested, and optimized for your use. There's no reason to make things more complicated than they need to be. Later, once you're comfortable with your system and have used it for long enough to see its strengths and weaknesses, then you'll be in a better position to think about learning to overclock.
