This is my first build and i have honestly no idea what im doing. I just followed IBUYPOWER's build guide and picked what was the best and most affordable for me coming at around $1,963. Is this build good and will everything work well together/compliment eachother? I plan to upgrade parts in the future but just want to make sure it will be perform great when it gets here.

I'm looking for no lag, fast load/bootup, runs 4k graphics, smooth FPS, optimal sound quality, and if any parts are unnecessary.

Thanks

Definitely don't buy that. $2000 is a ridiculous price for a system with a 3GB GTX 1060.

Sounds like you're looking for a gaming PC, in which case an HEDT CPU with a low-mid range GPU makes no sense. 7800x is a waste anyway- the 8700k is newer, faster, and cheaper.

If you're looking to spend $2k to game, you'd be far better off buying this;
