Background: Tinkered with replacing parts but never built a custom from start to finish. I stopped gaming for the past 7 years because of school, but now that I have a little bit more time, decided to build a custom pc. I hope this post helps other future first timers.

intel core i5-6600k

Intel M.2 NVME SSD 256 gb

WD 1 TB HD 7200 rpm

EVGA 16 gb 3200 mhz ram

EVGA 650W gold standard

EVGA GTX 1070 SC black edition (didn't know about the heating issues :(, o wells, it was cheap)

NZXT case s340

CorsaIr H80i V2

Intel dual-band AC 7260 wireless adapter

GPU OC'ed: 2050 mmhz core with gpu boost and 8500 mhz memory

Note: I've recently started to browse reddit so forgive me If I'm breaking any rules (I did read the rules). Although, reddit gives me so much nostalgia from the early 2000 internet days :).
