Hi! I'm still a newbie when it comes to computers so i would like to get some advice from people who have experience in building custom gaming rigs. I mainly play pubg and csgo and probably new AAA title games that comes out. My budget would be around 1.5k. Below will be some of the parts i have in mind. Please feel free to share your opinions on the parts and what you feel should be upgraded or i can spend less on. Also I would be buying from trade pac and i hope maybe i can get some tips on how to bargain and whether i should let them assemble my pc. Thanks!

The new Nvidia GPUs are expected to be out in April so you might wish to wait a month or two.

For DDR4, I would suggest a minimum speed of DDR4-2666.

if you have an intention to get a wifi card, then maybe you can look for a motherboard that has built in wifi.

i had the same requirements, so i went for the Asus ROG STRIX Z370-G GAMING (WI-FI AC). mainly because i prefer asus brand and i use a smaller casing. but you can go for a similar model but full size motherboad.
