I'm pretty new when it comes to PC building so my knowledge is pretty thin on certain aspects of computer components hence myself asking for help. I have this PC part list here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8RGnkd but I'm not quite sure if this is adequate. Some have suggested that I could change the CPU to a more Intel based chip like an I5, so is it worth it or not? anyways I hope to get as much help I can, my budget is 650-750 USD. Thanks again.
