Finilazing Budget Build

[Rex740]

I am building my first gaming computer and it's a budget one. I think I have all the parts down. Please check over them and make sure they all meet each others requirements and see if they are all compatible with each other and such. Thank You.

looks like a solid build.

dunno if you ordered or not, but I really hate the 24 pin placement on that board

spend a little more P5Q pro or the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R if you can

Hm, yea that is an odd placement for the power pin.
