Hello, I need to buy a CPU and motherboard to complete my build.


CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill AEGIS 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 750GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card
Case: Corsair Graphite Series 230T Black ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 - OEM (64-bit)
Monitor: Asus VS247H-P 23.6" Monitor
Total: $1092.54

I already have everything but the motherboard and CPU. my question is does that motherboard have built in wifi? Also, is their any corners that can be cut with the CPU/Motherboard that will not affect my performance much? The computer is a gaming computer.

Why AMD may I ask? Also cutting corners is bad... However don't over do it on the motherboard, get what you can use and nothing more, don't buy a board that has all these features that sound great but you won't actually use. Remember a low end mini atx vs a high end extreme gaming mother board such as the asus rampage VI will only yield 3-5% better performance
