Hey, /r/buildapc! I'm trying to get a list together for my first ever build. I want to stay around $1000, and it's mainly going to be used for gaming and digital art. I have this tentative setup so far:

What do you think? Any advice or suggestions are welcome, I've never done this before and I don't know if I've done things right or what. Also I don't have a case; the one I thought would work didn't, but I'm not entirely sure why.
