I've been putting together this build for the last few days based on recommendations from others and I'm hoping to get one more look at it before I pull the trigger on it, with an emphasis on potential compatibility issues and the hardware components themselves. The build is mostly for standard web browsing, photos and photo editing, Netflix/Hulu streaming, and casual gaming with the hope that modern games do well on the system for at least a few years to come. If you need more information, let me know.
I do have one specific question regarding installing Windows 10 on a custom build: should I buy the USB Flash Drive option that Microsoft offers on their site? This will be my first new PC in almost a decade, so I'm used to OS coming on discs (lol) or already being installed, so obviously this is something new to me.
Thanks for any help.
