Looking for advice on PC parts.
Hello,
I'm new to PC building. I'm looking for advice on the parts, and whether I need any more parts for the PC to function. I'd also love to slightly cut the cost if at all possible. I intend to primarily use the PC for gaming, image processing, and video editing.

Greetings, what is your intended budget?
-
Hello Ian, my budget is $1,500.
-
Do you need a copy of Windows? Right now you do not have it listed.
-
I do. Thanks for pointing that out :)
-
Honestly there is not much you can really change in the current parts list in your budget and what you plan on doing with the PC, everything looks solid as-is.
-
Thank you for your help, Ian. I appreciate you greatly.

You're welcome, if you have any other questions please let us know!

I think that motherboard supports PCIe 4 for its m.2 drive? Unless there's a deal you can't pass up on that 970 series which is PCIe 3, look at the 980 series which are PCIe 4.
-
Thank you, magarity! I have switched to a 980 series. Any other changes that you recommend?
-
No, that's my only suggestion. Looks really well balanced
-
Lovely, thanks again!
