Ok thanks for the tips.

You think? Great! Would you change up anything?

Ok thanks for the tips. Why change out the PSU? Also there are loads of Z170 motherboards on Amazon. Which one or are they all the same?

OK maybe not an AMD then. Was more a price thing but didn't realise they sucked!

Hi all. I'm relatively new to actually building a pc but have some basic knowledge. I have acquired a cx750 psu and thought could work out where to go from there with other components. However it is a minefield of choices for which Mobo etc to go for. I want the tower of for photo storage and multimedia use. If I'm putting the time and money into it would like a relatively powerful unit to use if my interest expands. Also will be running the latest Linux OS from the word go. I don't really intend to use it for gaming but still want a fast and reliable machine. An example would be running two displays, watching a film, downloading files and powering a sound system all together. With multitasking going on but without the laggyness of shop bought units. Any ideas guys and wether this can be achieved without too much messing about? I have thought would like an AMD processor and a Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Mid Tower Case but not much further than that. Sorry if it's not much to go on but we all need to start somewhere eh. Btw I'm uk based so will maybe have different suppliers from other posts seen about builds.
