This might be good

[Novicecomputeruser]

I have never built a PC before and have used this website. I want to spend less than $1700. I need to make sure it's good so is there anything wrong with it? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/mGz6BP

Hello!

I think you can save a bit of money by just getting Windows 10 64bit home edition because the pro version isn't really necessary unless you are actually going to use the professional features.

I use Windows 10 Home and I haven't ran into any issues with it.

Hope this helps

Some good, some bad.

You have an overclocking CPU with a non-overclocking board. CPU cooler is more for low-profile systems. There are cheaper alternatives as well.

Certainly some basic memory, but for only around $10 more you have many many brands to choose from, higher speeds, lower timings.

I use Windows Pro myself, just a few little things that make it worthwhile, but if this is primarily for gaming, then Home would be enough.
