My brother wants me to build him a gaming PC and his budget is around $700.
My current parts list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vQPtCb.
I am thinking about changing the SSD from the Adata XPG to a Intel 760p..the Intel seems to be quite a bit faster in write speeds for not much more money.
Also would prefer an Asus mobo as I have had good luck with them in the past.
Whats the cheapest Asus board that has the OC dipswitch on the motherboard?
Any parts you would change ?
thanks
