Well i am a first time builder and i have put together a build that will suit my needs now and in the future. Looking for this build to be at 1500$. main uses to be photo enhancement(work) and gaming(pleasure). Still not sure if i should stay with intel or use amd??? or if i can save money somewhere with cheaper parts without losing performance? looking to add another video card and more ssd/hdd in the future.
