Noob that doesn't want a bestbuy special

[foxracing1998]

Hey guys,


New guys here. I want to start gaming on a pc vs. Ps4. I am looking at a 1200$ build and I don't want a "Best Buy" special. I have done some research and I am confident that I could build a pc my self.
Would you guys mind reviewing my build and let me know if I should change some stuff. The computer will also be for weekend multitasking and autocad work stuff

Windows? Monitor? etc..

Change the SSD.

Samsung 860 EVO, Crucial MX500, WD Blue.
Yes, they are a little bit more expensive, but that extra is worth it vs that SanDisk.

And as above...monitor and OS?

Okay cool thanks, I will change that around.

I am going to be using windows 10 pro. I have not fully researched a monitor yet, I have some decent 27" dell monitors that I was going to use until I can get the funds up to get a nicer gaming monitor. I also have not pick a case as of yet.

I've been seeing GTX 1070's used for under 300$ easily. obviously there is more risk when buying used parts. but just something to think about.

Why Win 10 Pro, specifically?

It's mainly for the remote desktop feature to use between my work computer and the home office.

OK, just checking.
Far, far too many people assume "Pro" = "better/moarFPS"

Good PSU, but a bit overkill. even a 650 watt would be way more than needed(same make and model, of course).

Lol. Gotcha. Thanks for all of your help!!!
