It's my first time building a rig and am trying to make a decent gaming cpu for under 550 including monitor. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!
I'm going to purchase in a few hours unless given some negative feedback on this. I'm ok with having a below average graphics card if I can't get anything higher quality for the money. I'm most concerned with everything being compatible.
