This is my first PC I'm making, I have no prior experience building a computer before, and I've done a lot of research into making a standard gaming computer (still a newbie!). Is there anything I can do to make this build shine brighter? I also don't have a OS yet, so I might have to go scavenging for one and hopefully I can grab a copy for cheap. Thanks a lot!
