Hi all,
I'd just like to start with the fact that I am on a tight budget. However, I was shopping, and came across two items, and I'd like to see if they are compatible, and if not, what i should use instead for around the same price. I was looking at an MSI z170a Gaming Pro motherboard and an AMD fx 6300. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
