New to PC builds Please help?

[jacobherren]

I am new to PC building and have attempted to create a, what i believe, solid gaming specific PC. I would like some input as if i should change specific parts or any other useful tips. thank you.

I'd invest more into a cooler like a CRYORIG H5 ultimate for better temps/overclocking
I'd also get 16 GB RAM if you want a "solid" build for a longer time. Some games that will use the i7 to it's full potential would also probably benefit from more RAM to use.
Don't get NEX, the caps are craps. G3 is really where it's at, G2 at least.
I'd get a case that doesn't feel as cheap. Invest $15 more in something like an NZXT S340 or something from Fractal design or the likes.
Personally I'd get an ASUS Z170A or Gigabyte Z170X series over an MSI krait, but that's me.

Sorry, im new to all of this, but what do you mean when you say NEX and i rather invest in a G3 or a G2? also would the G.skill ripjaws v series (2x8gb) DDR4-2400 memory suffice?

Yeah 2x8 gb would be neat.

By NEX I mean supernova NEX, your power supply. While otherwise a good unit, it has bad capacitors which I have experienced in multiple cases ; means that your PSU craps quicker. G2 and G3 are better quality and trust me, you don't wanna cheap out on the PSU.
