Hello, i'm building my first computer.
Im wondering if everything is compatible and if things will work OK and if the different components will take full advantage of each other.
For example, will the graphics card only run on half of its full capacity because the monitor only can support a resolution that high?
Plz give me your opinion on it. It will be used for gaming and school work, web browsing, YouTube and sometimes I will be watching videos.
If you have any suggestions or recommendations for any of the parts please leave them below.
The only part I’m unsure about is the graphics card.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I USE ON A GRAPHICS CARD?
If you have any recommendations for any of the parts or know of a part that will fit perfectly with this build, you can recommend parts with a higher price than the price limit of the component.
My budget is around 2000$. Remember, that all the parts will not be bought from Newegg, so the prices of the parts linked under, may not be the price that i will be buying the part for.
