I'm a first time builder without a ton of knowledge about parts and efficiency. This is the build I've got going so far, mainly looking to use it for coding, editing, streaming, and gaming. I'm hoping to get some advice on switching parts out, specifically wondering whether it's worth it to upgrade my motherboard or not and whether its worth it to grab the 250g ssd. All other advice is welcome of course. Thank you!
