Hey everyone! I'm planning to build my first PC with a budget of around £1500, focusing mainly on gaming. I don't need a monitor, and I want something that'll last a few years. I've put together a list of parts based on advice from others, but I'm quite new to this whole thing, so I'd really appreciate any suggestions or feedback. There's also a compatibility warning between the motherboard and CPU I'm using—should I be concerned about that? Here's my build list if you want to check it out: [Link to build list](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/f48Wsp). Thanks in advance!

Just a heads up, the UD90 SSD you're looking at uses QLC flash, which isn't as durable and tends to slow down over time. I'd recommend upgrading to a TLC SSD like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or something from the WD Blue series instead. Also, if your motherboard is new, it might already have an updated BIOS, but you can update it without the CPU if needed. Just something to keep in mind!
Thanks for the info! I chose the UD90 mainly for the price, but the TLC options you mentioned look affordable too.
