I'm putting together my first PC and while I think I've done a decent job considering my budget, I'm struggling a bit. Specifically, I need to choose a motherboard and I'm looking for a more affordable video card option since the pricey one I have was a gift. I'm also building a second PC, so I don't want to spend too much on the components for this one. Any advice would be appreciated! Here's my parts list if you want to take a look: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Lilgooseulin/saved/fHG97P

Hey, I noticed your PCPartPicker link might not be working. Make sure you set it to public so others can help you out! Also, if you need budget-friendly parts, check out some of the lower-tier options recommended on Reddit. Don't skimp on your power supply though; aim for something at least tier C from a reliable list, it'll save you headaches later!
If you're looking for a solid motherboard on a budget, check for ones that support newer CPUs but are still reasonably priced. And for a video card, maybe look at some previous generation models - they're often a lot cheaper but still perform really well for gaming and everyday tasks!
I just upgraded my setup and I’ve got some old components I’m looking to give away, including an AIO cooler and several fans. If you're interested, I can send you the details; they were in good condition!
Wow, that sounds awesome! I don’t need a case but I’d be interested in other parts for sure.
Thanks for the heads-up! I think I fixed the link now.
