Good evening all!
I'm hoping some of you more tech savvy people could help me with a first time pc build. I've been watching youtube videos about parts and descriptions of PCIe 3.0 x 16 stuff and my head is fried.
My build is: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/8ttZbj
This is my first time building a pc so I'm just looking for advice on what parts to invest in and how complicated it will be.
I will for the mean time only be playing most games at 1080p until I cash out on a 1440p monitor, but just want the TI for 'future-proofing'.
The main confusion I have is that I am going for the STRIX Z270-E GAMING motherboard with 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots. I'm assuming that's the best slot for the graphics card? And will the M.2 SSD stop me from using any slots as i've read it takes up a motherboard slot? Lastly... overclocking, is it worth it? Is it recommended? Would the cooler I've got handle it?
Obviously if anyone has any suggestions then the help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks for your time, and sorry for my lack of knowledge, I am trying to read up on all of this.
Regards,
Nathaniel
