I'm gearing up to build my first PC, but I'm facing a challenge with the rising prices of components. Since my budget won't allow me to purchase everything at once, I'm looking for advice on which parts I should prioritize. I'm heading to Micro Center tomorrow, which is quite a trek, and I want to make the most of my trip. Any suggestions?

A solid plan would be to look for a bundle that includes a motherboard and RAM. If the budget allows, consider adding an SSD too!

I've seen some great bundles including RAM, motherboard, and CPU at Micro Center, but I'm torn on which motherboard to choose. I’m building around an RTX 5080 and a 9800x3d. The options I’m finding are either too powerful for what I need or have bad reviews.
