This laptop isn't quite doing it for me, so I'm looking into building a PC.
My build on
PC Part Picker.
I understand how to build PCs, but know next to nothing about brands, performance, or Vendors so any feedback or recommendations would be fantastic.

Any ideas? (The wireless adapter bit is still up in the air, can be removed without issue.)
My budget is around $1,300 but I would prefer to keep it lower if possible. (Need money to eat sometimes, blahblahblah)
