https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p3b3XH I tried not to change too much. Get a 1600 instead of a 1600x; their specs are exactly the same aside from clock speed, but you can overclock it to 1600x speeds even with the stock cooler. You could add in an aftermarket cooler, but I wouldn't right away. Better motherboard with a pretty good audio solution onboard so it eliminates the need for a sound card. No need for an optical drive. Install your OS with a USB drive. No need to pay for Windows 10 immediately. You can use an inactivated version for free for as long as you want. Added a SSD to use as your boot drive for your OS and programs. Changed the GPU to a cheaper model of the same chip. There really is no reason to spend more for the same thing.

Power supply is doodoo, and optical drive is useless. Other than that, seems good, though I'd recommend getting a 1440p 144hz monitor or 4K 60hz.

I just built my first pc as well and I had a very small budget and I went with a 6th gen i3 and 8 gigs of ddr4. Things still lightning fast for school work and such. I would suggest a 1070 or something. Unless of course you'll be doing intense 4K all the time.

Are you gonna be doing anything else but gaming ?

Sound cards are totally useless. Optical drives are generally pretty useless as well, if you need one for something buy a cheap USB one on amazon. Power supply is terrible. [url=https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rBhwnn]Look at this and tell me what you think.[/url]
