So im going to be making a gaming rig and want the opinion of others. Am I going over board with my build what can be improved what is not good enough? Also I can't decide on a proper case to fit all this and have no idea what would be a good motherboard to fit this all in (it needs to have at least USB 3.0 and 5 USB ports on the back).
My budget is roughly 2k BTW
