    First gaming PC. Am I missing anything?

    Thanks for this! Definitely going to give me some options to look into today. I can't change the GPU, though, as that's already been purchased and was actually delivered yesterday. I got it off the Newegg shuffle so, at least for the foreseeable future, I'd want to stick with that.

    First gaming PC. Am I missing anything?

    Maybe I do need to go with a 1000w then. Ha! Some folks on another board also recommended I downgrade to a 750w so yours wasn't the only suggestion to do so. From what I've read, and I certainly haven't read it all, as long as I'm buying 4 sticks in a single kit, the XMP profiles should work...

    First gaming PC. Am I missing anything?

    I should start by saying this isn't my first PC build, but the last one I built was in 2015 and it used onboard graphics, stock CPU fan, and a $26 case, if that tells you anything about how simple that build was. This will be my first time building a gaming PC and I'll be honest in that I almost...
