Finally going for my first build in about 10 years. My first one died a couple years ago after a thunderstorm. I've got a monitor, and a HDD already that I never got to use. Yay for no more laptop
I did have to change a couple things up. For some reason the old list didn't save like it should've. I'm trying to keep the price around 700-730. With what I have in store, I'm wanting to have the space to play around with.
You can also just download windows for free by saying no product key, then getting a key off kinguin for 20 bucks and save 80 for other parts of the build.
Also you don’t need thermal paste, CPU comes with a fan with thermal paste.
