Hey guys, I will build my first desktop during this Black Friday.

I have been working on this build this about one and half month. I did researches for almost all the parts that in this build list. I did a lot of researches by watching Youtube review videos, asking questions at here and the forum of Tom's Hardware, reading reviews from Tech Power Up, PC world, Linus Tech Tips, Techradar, etc.

I will start to buy those parts now, if everything is going right. Actually, I already purchased the Asus DVD/CD Writer last night, have not receive it yet. I probably will buy CPU,GPU, MOBO, etc big parts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Can not wait to build them. Oh, yes, this will be my first build ever.

the one thing that I am not really sure about this build is the PC case fan, the PC case fans in this build probably are not my finally decisions. I am still working on researches. For case fans, I set the budget for it which is 10$.

If you have any suggestions or recommondations for pc case fan or other parts of this build, feel free to leave them below. For memoery, I will add another 8GB later, but 8 GB should be Ok for me now.

oh, I will use this build for gaming, and light 3D modeling. My budget limit is 1650$. The total price now is a little higher than 1650$, but it was aound 1625$ in the morning. But I think the total price will decrease, since Holiday season is almost coming. So, I am not really worry anout it.
