Hi I was wondering if there is any problems or any fine tuning I need with my gaming build/everyday use. Is the mobo good for future upgrade like if I want to upgrade my cpu in the future? I already bought the cpu and case. Thanks!

Looks good to me the only thing missing on the list is some good thermal paste like Artic MX-4 but the hyper 212 evo is so n so and should be fine

Do I really need that thermal paste? Like what do I use it on? Sorry I'm not that tech savy with computers.

The stock paste for the cpu is fine enough if your not extreme with overclocking. If your not tech savy its fine with the build
