Before you ask certain questions, bare these points in mind:
- I haven't got a HDD with the build as I plan to buy one 1 or 2 months in to minimise initial costs, I'll load the OS onto the SSD and go from there.
- The same with the RAM, I'll purchase another 8GB stick about 1 or 2 months down the line.
- One of the queries I have is whether the motherboard is a good choice at such a cheap price for a Z97 or if I should be spending a bit more on it for over-clocking and longevity.
Thanks for any help
