First time build

[DerBear]

I have posted a few times in the past but never committed to a pc build . I am not looking for a super expensive of sense I'm not sure if I will like pic gaming or not. I am looking for a pc build (Intel based) that will be good for gaming with future upgradability I will be using this pic for gaming mainly . Don't have a ton to spend maybe about $500 but might pay a little more if everyone thinks that $500 is to low for what I am looking for thank you in advance I am looking forward to being a part of the pc master race!

Is that mother board good for upgrading gpu and cpu future upgrade?

 

[vlxedits]

Yes. This motherboard has the most current intel socket ( 1150 ) so if you were planning on upgrading to an i7 in the future, it would be possible. For the graphics card the motherboard doesnt matter ( you just need a pci-e 16 slot ) and an adequate power supply.
