Never built a PC before, but thought it was a good time to get started on it!

I already got the tower, CPU and motherboard. Someone was getting rid of that specific tower and they wanted it gone - it was basically free! (aka a glorified curbalert)

I chose that CPU cause I don't want to spend money on a GPU, yet. Not looking yet into AAA gaming, at most I'll start with my Steam indie backlog 😁

Thanks!

You can't always trust online PSU estimates (as far as how many watts you'll need), it never hurts to calculate it yourself I've got a 9th gen Intel board (MSI) with a 10th CPU and a Radeon RX580 running on a 400 watt power supply (EVGA), my biggest concern is overtaxing the poor thing 😀
