Hi all,
I have spent a while planning this build, but I'm a first time builder. I have a few quick questions:
1. Is everything compatible and of a similar quality?
2. Will the Intel HD graphics on the i5 be sufficient for watching/streaming video (no gaming)?
Thanks for answers to these questions or any other comments!
