My first pc build.

Emre

This is my first build ever. I just made this PC build as a template for the future. I am very new into the space. The Nvidia 2060 is a placeholder for the (hopefully) upcoming 3060 that's supposed to be around the same price. There is a mousepad and a keyboard in the build. I would like any advice, negative or positive. I am also thinking of using this monitor:

If you are buying a GPU as a placeholder than I would recommend going with an EVGA unit. EVGA has a 90 day step up program. You can step up to a better GPU within those 90 days, ship your old EVGA back and only pay the difference between your old and new unit.

No, what I meant by that is that I'm not going to actually buy the 2060. It's just there because it has a relatively close price to the projected 3060 price. But thanks for the comment!

I like this build. You've got what you need to play some fun games. For recommendations, I'd suggest another storage device. If you can find budget for it, I'd recommend an SSD. Probably 1TB. If that's a bit too much for your budget, a 1-2TB HDD would still be good to have. 500GB isn't a lot of storage for games these days. Most games are somewhere between 60GB and 120GB so that 500GB will be used very quickly.

Emre

LandShark, would you recommend andy SSD with NVMe and PCle 3.0 around or under the $100 range?

@Emre Sure, There are many options around that price range. Here's a TLC option for you https://www.microcenter.com/product/622290/wd-blue-sn550-1tb-3d-tlc-nand-pcie-gen-3-x4-nvme-m2-2280-internal-ssd
