I need help building a gaming PC

[DeathHurricane7]

So I want to build a pretty good gaming PC but I'm like a noob at this so I need help. I have picked out these parts and it would really help me out if you could tell me if it is a good build or give me suggestions; https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xcsXBP I'm on a budget of $1500 to $1700

Looking at your list, it looks like you just picked the first thing that you saw. It works, but if you can save money, then go for it. Do you honestly need an i7? No. However, if you want to render or stream then it helps. You can save yourself a few bucks, and kick down to a 7600K and use a Cryorig H7. I also don't see you utilizing 3000mhz of memory either. Changed some things around and saved a few bucks. The case fans in the S340 aren't bad, and they get the job done.

My recommendation? Get a 7600K, use the H7, and also use a SSD to speed of the computer about. Something like this should help:
