Chose Intel over AMD

[vlad1slaw]

Budget (including currency): 1500 USD max ~ 30.000 MDL

Country: Republic of Moldova

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA and Indie games, Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop etc.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Hi guys, I am upgrading from an old laptop to a gaming PC, which I am planning to build myself. This is the final build I came up with, after asking you guys for help by tweaking it. I chose going second-hand for the Graphics Card as prices are still high in my country. You might see some unique choices because of availability problems and/or high shipping costs in my country. This is the PCPartpicker build I came with, after switching from AMD to Intel as my CPU choice: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mWVF9r. The only problem is I know almost nothing about Intel motherboards so I thought you guys might help me. Also tell me if this build still has any problems. BTW I can't change the case due to availability reasons. Thanks in advance!

The maximum budget for the mobo is around 170 USD

Either one of these boards will be great at that budget:

Thanks for your help! What about the rest of the PC, is it a decent build?

That is a well balanced machine, I don't think you will have any problems with it
