Need Help Choosing Parts
Hi all, never built a PC before but my laptop's hard drive is about to fail, and I can't get caught without something as a backup. I want to keep things pretty cheap, but would like to still be able to play older games, and start dabbling in C++ and Unreal engine.
Does this look like it would be an adequate build? Am I missing any major stuff?

Hi! I am not seeing a CPU cooler here. Do you already own one? If not, are you looking for water cooler or aircooled? 500GB is a pretty small amount of storage I recommend around 1TB if you are able as well!
