I have put together a very low budget PC build, but I've never built my own PC before, so I'm hoping the community can help poke holes in my build, if any. I just want to be sure that before I start buying parts that my build is solid. I have included a link to the PCPartpicker.com build below.
I'm incredibly overwhelmed by the sheer number of motherboards available on the market and have not the slightest idea of where to start except with the brand names I've heard of such as MSI and Gigabyte. Any help there would be greatly appreciated. Everywhere I've browsed states a different set of motherboards are the best, but the best ones are way too expensive. For the moment, I've chosen ASRock fatality z87 killer. Obviously, I've chosen an ATX ff, but if an M-ATX would be better/more budget friendly, I'm all for it.
If possible, I'd like to get my build under $700, but I'm not sure where to compromise.
I've chosen both an Intel graphics card and Intel CPU because I'm more familiar with Intel and I've had issues with my AMD video card in the past (that's not to say that I would have more issues), but if anyone can vouch for the AMD stuff, do let me know. I also don't know how well AMD CPUs work with Intel GPUs and vice versa or is that not an issue?
I've tried to build it to somewhat compare to Digital Storm's Vanquish II level 1, but hopefully a little bit improved.
Final note, the link provided below correctly links to my build, but it doesn't LOOK correct in the preview, so hopefully it's fine.
