Howdy y'all! I've saved up enough money and decided that now was the best time to pull the trigger on buying all these parts for my first-ever PC build. Just want to hear some opinions since I have just placed the orders yesterday and they should be arriving over the next week or so. Thanks.

Undecided on storage but I have some hard drives laying around that I might just stick in there. Any tips and videos on how to assemble this once the parts arrive would be great to hear too! Let me know if I got these for a deal or not as well, all opinions are welcome!

*I bought this GPU from aaawave, I'm not sure if they're legit or not but I guess I'll find out! Plus they didn't charge me tax? Weird.
**Best place to buy? Lmk. ;)

1000 watt PSU; 175 dollars.......hmmmm.

I'd strongly consider stepping down a notch or two on that and spending the saved money elsewhere on the PC......for instance replacing the 2TB spinning hard drive with an SSD of some type. That upgrade might cost 50 dollars.
