This is my first time building or thinking about building a pc, my father has some knowledge on pcs, and he also has some friends that work in the computer industry, so it won't matter much about how I'm going to build it.
Some parts are more expensive then others for example, the motherboard is a bit pricey but has great reviews but I know I should be putting that forward on the gpu or cpu I'm just not entirely sure what to switch in and out lowering the cost, I'm on a budget of around $1,100. I need some help swapping out reliable brands parts on anything that I've chosen really, I've had some help from friends that have a limited yet wide amount of knowledge on computers. I prefer intel over amd because I'm more familiar with Intel as well as the fact that I know it performs great! It'd be greatly appreciated if you were to assist me.
