Need Help Choosing Parts
axi
✭✭
Hey! I'm trying to take advantage of the holiday sales and build my first gaming PC. I was wondering if y'all can take a look at the parts I've chosen and let me know if it's a good build, if there are better parts to chose/ an altered build, and/or if there are cheaper parts with the same quality.
My budget is $1500 for the PC itself (I still need to choose a monitor afterwards), but the (reasonably) cheaper the better. I'm trying to build a PC for streaming, music production (Cubase), and gaming (Borderlands 3, Skyrim V, Red Dead, use my J5 Create capture card to stream PS3 and Nintendo Switch titles). I'd like at least 6 USB ports (2 of them being USB 3 type-A).
I built the PC on PCPartPicker because not all the parts are available from Microcenter. Here's the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XkQ8Hz
