    Looking to build a gaming pc small but powerful. Cooling & compatibility are a concern. Budget around $1000

    So far this is what I have. Any tweaking suggestions are welcomed?

    I would ditch the hard drive and Kingston SSD, then drop the RAM to a slower speed, and use that money to buy a 1TB Samsung 860 Evo for $150.

    But that's just me. I don't know nothing.
