If you want help:
>Assemble your parts list
https://pcpartpicker.com/
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA)
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R3 1300x - Good stop-gap between the 1500x and the 1200, only get a 1400 if you absolutely need multithreading
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>i7 7700k - Only for 144hz
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any <$30 cooler.

So I've searched through Google and it seems like the only thing I can find are people having the opposite problem I am. I'm putting my first build together and I've run into a bit of an issue with power cords. Pic related is the CPU power porn on my Motherboard (MSI Z270 Gaming M3). It's an alternating arch/square pattern for the pins. Yet on my PSU (EVGA 650 G2), I have a 4+4 connector where one side is the same arch/square pattern but the other is all arches. It also came with what they are calling an 8-pin+8(4+4)-pin CPU adapter on which both sets of connectors have the alternating arch/square pattern but the other end of the cable is some sort of weird connector with clips on the sides that doesn't actually attach to anything else.

I'd really like to not mess up my first build (not to mention all the money I spent) and would appreciate any guidance I can get.

Just noticed that Humble Bundle put up a couple cybersecurity books. 14 books for $15.

What does /g/ think of these books? Are they worth it?

Are you aware of the forward head posture epidemic directly caused by video games and sitting?
Check that spine.

Remember to do your forward head exercises after each computing session!
