I made this build trying to keep it as cheap as possible but still have decent parts (to my knowledge they're decent but not a huge tech guy).

The thing that I was wondering the most about is if that motherboard would affect my gaming experience.

From my knowledge motherboards perform exactly the same now except for very minuscule performance differences the only real difference being the additional features that come with most costly ones.

Your microATX build is good and will do the job for you. Mobo is fine as well. No issue there. Bty what is your actual budget?

My planned budget was actually $850 but im pushing it with this build to try to get the most for the very max that i can pay. Im right at the limit of what I can pay with just the build but hopefully i can get the headset listed at the same time or sometime soon after building my pc

Ok. Build is good. I was trying to change a few components around but with monitor, headset and keyboard, not possible. You already have selected good components. My priority was to add GTX 760 or R9 270.

Thanks for trying atleast. I know its hard to keep everything within budget while trying to get very good components. But will my build be able to run some of the bigger AAA game titles, BF4, Metro Last Light, Call of Duty, etc ?
