For people to help with your build they will need the following:

Monitor you will use it with: make and model or Refresh rate and quality.

Budget: as this can affect what they choose for your build / adjustments.

What it will be used for?

Also I had a very similar build to yours I asked about so you can click my profile and compare them and look at the comments
