I'm excited to build my first PC, but I have a pretty tight budget. I'm planning to use DDR4 RAM and want to ensure I can at least play some games. I've selected some parts, which you can view here: pcpartpicker.com/list/g3wQFZ. However, I've noticed a couple of compatibility warnings; specifically, it mentions that the PCIe 6+2 connectors shouldn't be daisy chained and should use separate power cables, and I'm unsure if my CPU cooler will provide enough clearance for the RAM. I don't have the parts yet, so I could really use some advice on making sure everything will work together smoothly!

Just a heads up, if your PC doesn't have a disc drive, you might find it tricky to install Windows from a disc. Also, when picking a monitor, I'd suggest going with IPS instead of VA panels for better color and viewing angles. Good luck!
Seriously, double-check your connections after you're done building. It’s super easy to miss something, especially with all the excitement!
Make sure you plug in that power cable when you're finishing up. It's a common mistake to overlook that step!
Oh man, I can see that happening to me! Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks for the tips! I'll keep that in mind when choosing a monitor.
