Is this a good PC build?

So I'm planning on building a PC for the first time and I have a budget of 1500$ I've never built a PC before. Is this a good setup? Monitor: BenQ -RL2455HM [spoiler]http://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-RL2455HM-inch-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00CFFFGUM[/spoiler] Mouse: Razor Deathadder Keyboard: Corsair Strafe Mechanical Gaming keyboard [spoiler]http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2494138,00.asp [/spoiler] Specs: Processor: Intel Core i5-6600 Motherboard: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sports DDR4 2400 (8GB) Graphics Card: GTX 980 Power Supply: Corsair CX600M 600 watt 80 Plus Bronze Primary Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB Secondary Storage: Western Digital Black 2TB WD2003FZEX CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO I know it's a lot of money for my first PC but I've got no expenses and nothing else to spend my money on anyways. My main concern is that mouse & keyboard as they're currently a bit too expensive for my tastes What's the cheapest good gaming keyboard and monitor I can get?

    You don't need to get a new keyboard and mouse unless you don't have any spares, even then you could probably go cheaper. Having special keyboards doesn't really do anything. And you also don't need a monitor if you have a TV with HDMI ports that's not in use. The one you chose doesn't have a resolution too much higher than a lot if TVs, so it wouldn't make a difference anyways. You should also probably learn and hand pick your parts instead taking a build from the internet, it's better to not go in blind. Update: Just looked at the parts and prices. Your build is almost identical to mine, except mine has a better CPU and is $800 cheaper. You should definitely get to know the parts and pick then more carefully. You should use pcpartpicker to help you with the process. [spoiler]Also $44 for 8 GB 2X of RAM is way to much.[/spoiler]
