I am going to purchase my computer's parts in about two days. This is my first build, and I don't understand many things. I have gone off suggestions from others for most of the parts. The main things I want suggestions on are the motherboard, and CPU. Also I'm trying to keep this as cheap as possible, so if there are similar options for a cheaper price, that would be amazing. Basically any help would be apprecated, as I don't want to mess up my first build.
