First build. Am I missing anything/any red flags?
###Build Help/Ready: Hey internet!
Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)
Yeah
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
I'm looking to upgrade from an old laptop. I intend to use this build for some gaming as well as video/photo editing.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)
Looking to game at 1080 at 60+FPS at either High or Ultra.
What is your budget? $1,300 but that includes a monitor and a Keyboard which I still need to figure out.
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
USA
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!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.
I'm not totally sure about my RAM choice. I get that specific model discounted where I work. I'm looking into 144hz monitors, any suggestions are welcomed. Do shipping and Tax add up on each individual part? Or is it best to go through one site for parts? Thanks!
