So I am about to buy a new computer (the parts to build one) and I need to know some things about the parts first before I buy. If you could help me out that would be great.
1. Are these parts compatible? Will these parts all work with each other and not somehow make the computer not function?
2. Is the power supply powerful enough to handle this PC, or do I need to get a better power supply (more watts/different brand/ETC.)
3. I still have to buy windows, and I know I can buy it safely from (lets say) BestBuy for around $100, but I've also heard there are other ways to get the operating system. I have heard of downloads for free, very cheap prices off Ebay (my case won't take discs), messages popping up about copys of windows "not being genuine". Should I buy the operating system for $100? I'd rather go the cheaper way, but I need someone's opinion.
4. Is this a good setup for gaming on high end games (such as ARK and Rust)? Is there anything you would change to make this build better? Anything that could give me the same quality of gaming for a better price?
5. Anything else I should know?
