Hi guys. This forum is always really helpful and nice and I would appreciate it if I could get some feedback on my proposed pc gaming build. I live in the UK and I have good basic computer knowledge. I will be using the PC just for gaming as well as the other stuff like movies as it is going to be hooked up to the JVC 4K DLA-X700RBE Projector. I will not be playing any intensive games or anything to taxing at 4K, just around 1440p but I will be using the basic stuff at 4K hopefully. I would really like any comments and just so you know I would not like to spend too much extra money than already planned.
Here is the build so far:

No Problem!I mean, if you want, I know nothing about SSDs though. (I'd keep the money saved by switching and put towards some peripherals, some nice razer stuff 😛, or even better, liquid cooling 😀)


Thanks man, I will look at usb adapters but I just get scared that they will be quite bad and I have heard that they aren't good quality an get interrupted so they receive a much weaker signal than a normal antenna. If this isn't true then I will definitely get the USB one. Also I do have a PCpartpicker build but it's not very accurate because it doesn't have all the parts I want to get.
Heres the link (case isn't correct nor is the ram)

Mabye PCPartPicker is different here in the US??? i dunno. But after doing a little research, as long as its not very shielded (behind your computer or something) it should be fine

 
Do you think that my new wireless USB adapter will do well for online gaming and HD video streaming, considering we will hopefully have fibre optic installed into our house?
 


Well, Wi fi is always going to be more prone to interference, its just in its nature, USB or PCI. But if you have a good connection, and are in somewhat close proximity to your router, you should be fine, but like i said, any wi fi will be more prone to hiccups compared to a wired connection. Wired will always be better. But it should be fine.
