First gaming PC and my first time building a computer

[TheHairyJohnson]

I wanted a pretty good gaming PC that could run most games at a relatively high fps for around $850. Since this is my first time building a computer, any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Same manufacturer, same capacity, same price, better speed.

Your pc looks good.
advice for building:
_ save your self time for building no distractions.
_read the manuals or follow step by step video instructions.
_make sure you have an antistatic bracelet or in constant contact with metal stay grounded( don't want to short circuit your components.
_triple check that every cable is plugged the right way.
_try building your pc outside of your case first to ensure that everything works.
_have someone there to help you build if needed.
_and most important thing of all have fun enjoy the process.
My first build took one entire day. I watch so much pc built video that was basically a pro. 1st boot got no power no screen started to panic then I try pushing the main atx motherboard cable and there you have it 1st boot successful.
the Key to pc build is patience and a lot of paying attention to small details
