Shaved another $350 off; when I didn’t have any firsthand experience, I used parts Jay’s recommended in the past.
Room for another $15 savings in the RAM (2400 vs 3000)
I replaced your 1TB SATA SSD with a 500GB M.2 (probably don’t need that big a SSD; M.2 has faster transfer speeds)
Will be able to take off another $120-$150 if you go down to a 1060
Case is a lot of personal opinion, but Jay likes this one for overclocking (I’ve never OC’d).
Not sure where you got that PS, it seems very expensive for the price. Jay’s recommended this one before; may need to scale wattage up or down, but I don’t think so.
all right i can live with that build for sure and talking over everything i’m getting better at understanding what not to do and what to do. Learning the finer details of the parts, that is gonna take me a while. So i just wanted to check the comparison between the 2 cases as i like the look of the blue one and it is an airflow. However if its airflow isn’t as good as the other and i would be putting my computer at risk to use it then i’ll stick with the one suggested by you guys. i don’t like the box feel of it but its something i’ll live with rather then skrew my computer over.
Likely going to have good airflow with your case as well, but look for its mid-tower equivalent. You aren’t buying nearly enough components to need all the extra space of a full tower, so there’s going to be a HUGE amount of empty space inside and its footprint at your desk will be massive.
So it might be taking me a while to get to working order… But i have finally built a computer… however the ddr4 sticks of ram were dead on arrival… super annoying so i’m going to have to ship those back to new egg and get another set that hopefully work.

I give up, can’t fix stupid. I’m going to lock this thread because it was a complete waste of time to even give you recommendations when you don’t listen, and I don’t want anybody else to read this and think you built a decent computer and want to copy it.
You bought a $250 motherboard that servers no purpose what do ever - and worse it’s AM4 - more on that in the next line.
You bought a Ryzen 5 processor, after being told repeatedly don’t buy AMD processors, period. This processor OC’d can’t out perform a i5-7500 stock, which costs ~$60 less.
A 1 kilowatt power supply, in a computer than needs 500-600 watts.
A wireless card? You’ve got to be kidding me, you spend all this money on a desktop and you can’t run a wire to it?
And an 2.5 SATA SSD, when you have M.2 slots on your motherboard, and those drives are faster.
