Hello everyone,

I have decided to build a computer from scatch for the first time. I am trying to keep the budget to $1,000. This is everything I will be buying, so please tell me if I am missing a required part. I also don't know if I need to add any fans/heatsinks to this pc since it seems like all the components have their own. Here is what I got so far:
