First Time Building

Hello everyone I am planning on building my first ever gaming computer. I was wondering if the community could help me make a parts list I want 16 GB ram with more space to upgrade. A really good graphics card for video games. I am thinking i5 just to save a bit of money. I already have peripherals. I also have one question. How do I know when looking for parts that they will work and be compatible with other chosen parts for a build?

 

Thanks for the help,

Master

Well 16GB because I will also use it for streaming video editing rendering etc. Also windows 10 I have heard has had some gaming problems is that true?

I have looked at parts on there. Does it only show the compatible parts with the other parts you chose? 

Yeah, If you choose a Mobo with slots for ddr4 it will only show you ddr4 memory ect.

Well in USD I'd guess at $8000 being pretty good but what is your budget?

I don't know I am saving up but I need a price range to know how much to save lol got about $250 saved so far

Need to save more to have a decent build. For $250 it will just be the cheapest parts but a incomplete build.
