It will be the first PC I will build, and its for 1080p gaming.
I would like final suggestions, and advice on monitor choice. Also a cheap wifi adaptor and mouse/keyboard
Thanks!
 
If you're gaming I recommend using Ethernet if at all possible. It's actually a fairly large difference.

Other than that, looks good.

Budget range for keyboard/mouse? Logitech would be my recommendation.

Got your OS already?

This LG would be nice for you for a monitor.

Does the PC come with Ethernet capability? The pc will be close to the router I just need to buy a new cable.
Keyboard/mouse I would prefer mechanical, but thats too expensive. I think I have spares lying around I can use for the moment.
Already have a OS copy
I'll have a look at the monitor, thanks.
 
Yes, it has Ethernet.

Well, consider the Logitech G710 when you go mechanical, I love mine.
