Never built a PC before, but thought it was a good time to get started on it!
I already got the tower, CPU and motherboard. Someone was getting rid of that specific tower and they wanted it gone - it was basically free! (aka a glorified curbalert)
I chose that CPU cause I don't want to spend money on a GPU, yet. Not looking yet into AAA gaming, at most I'll start with my Steam indie backlog 😁
Thanks everyone for the feedback and replies! Much appreciated.
I'll take a closer look at my pcpartpicker list and update it with the suggestions. I'll probably end up dropping the liquid/water cooling and just get an ATX power supply (vs a SFX power supply).
