Hey guys, I'm building my first PC and I would like to ask for some assistance in assuring that my parts are all compatible and that I have all the necessary parts in order to run the computer. I've looked at quite a few guides on here, and I feel like I've chosen decently based off of what I read I should be looking for. I've listed all the parts I've decided on so far and below that I've filled out the questionaire from the "How to ask for new build/upgrade advise" post. Thanks so much!
