This is my first build and I need help verifying everything is compatible and is good.
Budget:
-Supposed to be under $600 (Over at the moment)
Why am I building this:
-Gaming
-Programming
-Fun
-General internet use
Here is my rough build so far. Please tell me if I need anything/don't need something or could make it cheaper somehow. Thanks in advance
