    Hi, I'm hoping to get some help and advice on a gaming build with a budget of €1,000 max.

    A Windows license and a monitor are needed in the build.

    I have the following from PCpartpicker. (I can't post URLs as it is my first post.)

    Can you recommend any (all!) changes to the list below?

    Motherboard: ASRock - Z270 Killer SLI ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
