Post Body

First build in a very very long time. I want this computer to dual boot windows/Linux, I'm pretty sure the parts are compatible but would like someone else to look at it. I would consider myself a casual gamer. Graphics are nice but not everything.

I used to build computers back in high school and I vaguely remember Western Digital drives failing on me, have they gotten better? Also if someone could recommend a 50$ish keyboard that would be great. My budget was 1,500$ so it seems like i'm on mark. Thanks for taking a look.
