Need Help Choosing Parts

I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice. Anything missing? Do I need thermal paste? Already have keyboard, mouse, monitor and external DVD/Bluray. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=3054f649-a8f5-4a2a-b33a-62f992c12160

Hello @boblarso
Everything looks good! You do not need thermal paste as it comes pre-applied on the Corsair Cooler. I am curious on to what kind of games are you playing and at what resolution. -
Thanks for the input. Primary use will be photo and video editing along with running multiple VMs using VMware Workstation. Each requiring its own resources, mostly memory and fast disk access. CPU speed needed when applying complex photo/video filters. Got any game recommendations for novice gamer?
