This is my first ever actual build. I got a decent chunk of the parts on sale and that helped keep it within the 3k range like I was hoping for. The only issues I had were inexperienced building techniques and some weird interactions with certain drivers. Honestly, the Asus drivers gave me the most headache as there are 2 versions of this mobo and I have the ac one. Speaking of wifi I am still trying to figure out why it isn't working right. I'm planning on hardwiring it eventually but until I can I'm stuck with a wifi antenna that cuts off every few minutes.

For some reason builds.gg doesn't have every part I used so if you are curious about missing parts check out my PC parts picker page. https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/edit/?userbuild=J9RJ7P
