So, I just built my machine over the weekend. I ended up going with some parts that I'm sure will have some criticism. I just wanted to have it started since I'm currently in school, and do not plan on doing any intense gaming at the moment. This build should hopefully give me some room to grow by adding a dedicated GPU in the future and possible AIO. I also plan on getting an m.2 ssd in the future. Everything minus the case and monitor cost right around $500 USD since there was a few sales going on.
This was also my first time putting a computer together from scratch. I tinkered with my old computer in the past but never had to full take it apart. Will post some pictures later today.
