Hello World!
Looking to put some builds together. Budget is $750 - purpose is gaming. Aiming to start with the best case, motherboard, and CPU since those are the hardest to upgrade later. Then will upgrade memory and GPU later.

I was concerned about the microATX case and motherboard as I won't be able to upgrade those at a later date and they won't fit a full size graphics card. Also does not include an optical drive for disks.
Interested in a Ryzen 7 and compatible motherboard and case. Will upgrade post with specs as I come across ideal gear.
EDIT: Updated CPU, Mobo, Case, PSU. Slightly over budget $143, but build is looking solid with quality products that will last through upgrades.
