Hi again. I've made a build which I think is pretty good for 1080p gaming. Pc part builder doesn't say that anything is incompatible but I just wanted your guys help with that.

Pc build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Tylerman943/saved/#vie...

Btw I could switch it out for another motherboard I will link but its a micro atx motherboard and idk if that will affect my build.

Second motherboard I may buy: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00VX1GGWQ/ref=ox_sc_a...

Btw all the parts I currently have on that build are the: hard drive, Power supply, Ram cards, case, and windows 10, everything else in the build I do not have but have the opportunity to buy soon. IF you could help and give your opinions that would be much appreciated thanks.

I personally woyld go for the Gigabyte motherboard Just for DualBIOS alone. As for the build, most looks good to me. The only thing I would add on to it is an ssd for the operating system as that will make boot times much much quicker. I usualy prefer flash memory with TLC NAND because while its not as fast as MLC, its still lightyears faster than a standalone HDD, plus the Flash dye is much more dense, which increases capacity and lowers price points as well.

Nope, not good. Why buy old tech? Not worth it just to keep some ram, as it's cheap these days. And an overclocking CPU wiht a non-OC board?

Stick with the latest:

Ive also included: a just as good, but cheaper GPU, an SSD and 16 gigs of ram(worth it considering the diff from 8 to 16)

No, he didn't. Nor is that an overclocking build, is it? :)
