Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

I am also looking at this monitor: Samsung S34E790C 34" WQHD Curved Ultra-Wide 21:9 LED-backlit Monitor @ about $650 after tax and shipping.

I have no idea about cases, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Provide any additional details you wish below.

This is my first build, so any feedback would be awesome. I mostly followed Logical Increments. I don't mind waiting a few months if it means getting better deals. Thanks!
