    Question Which component of my PC should I upgrade?

    I like the CPU and Memory, they very look good. Don't know about the MOBO though, especially since it's Gigabyte. Also I don't know much about MOBO specs other than what's important for compatibility for other components, which I suppose is the most important aspect.
