Do you not have an SSD? That is one thing that I would say is well worth it in any build

On the SSD front, the motherboard you currently have selected sports an Ultra M2 slot, which will supposedly take a SATAIII or PCIe 3.0 x4 type M2 SSD. I guess SATA M2 exists for extreme form-factor stuff. In a tower I would think you would just use a 2.5" SATAIII SSD if you're going the SATA route. The PCIe M2 SSDs are spendy but generally much faster (very unlikely that these are limited by the connection speed in any way as PCIe 3 x4 is giving it almost 4GB/s of bandwidth, compared to a .75GB/s SATAIII connection or 1.25GB/s SATA Express)

 

I think, though, if it's your first SSD, trying to get a slightly larger capacity (512G minimum) SATAIII in the 2.5" form factor is probably a good bang for the buck. Maybe somewhere down the line a PCIe M2 SSD would make sense, but I just think it's probably too expensive right now to get one that you can fit a Windows system and games onto. Personally I like Crucial as an SSD brand, but I have no idea what is good for Windows, so grain of salt please.

I understood nearly none of that, yet it was in English. I may getan SSD down the line but I've ordered the part to bring the computer to what I'll call minimum.

 

I may return to this thread (or open a new one) to ask more questions about SSD's down the line but it won't be for at least a few months.

Yeah that info was directed more at the other windows PC builders that might want to help you but didn't read the specific manual for your motherboard

 

Everything else in the part list looked good to me. I think you'll probably be bringing the machine up to a pretty happy "minimum".

Parts are arriving . . .

 

All parts have arrived.
