CPU/Motherboard bundle deal from Microcenter for $170 out the door.
Cant find PSU requirement specs for MSI GPU's anywhere, which is why i went with a 600w, didnt want to risk a 500w not being enough.
everything i selected i tried to read many reviews on. Mouse/keyboard really dont care about. The real items im in question of are, RAM and PSU. any suggestions to improve are much appreciated. My carts are full and ready to checkout, just want some feedback to support or change my selections.
Cheers!
