I'm pretty new at this stuff, this is my first computer(that im building) so im not completely sure about the combination of these parts, i did some checking and think it should be alright but it would be great if you guys could give me some advice.
My main concern is whether the GPU will fit into the MOBO without blocking any ports that im going to need for the other stuff that wiull need a PCI port (any kind)
Also, are all of the parts completely compatible? Basically, will this build work?
One more for you, the RAM has the word upgrade in it, this leads me to believe ill need some ram in a previous pc that need upgrading, is this true or not?
If you are giving me a suggestion for a replacement in parts, please try to keep the cost around the same or less than my current choice, im already pushing my $700 budget.
Thank in advance
