Notes:

  1. I have read my MB manual. Nevertheless I recommend at start read some different MB (same vendor) manuals to get the idea/some experience, and because manuals may show different guidelines eg my MB not indicate Ram chip insert priority – 4 slots one Ram chip – also not show how adapt head sink & CPU Fan in the MB. In contrast some other Asus MB manuals show this info, and also I have registered the motherboard in Asus Site and contacted Asus Support pertinent to all my Questions. My MB manual shows only how adapt processor in its slot in MB.
  2. I prefer Intel Processors as only these support Hackintosh Build Systems or Mac OS in Virtual Machines in hypervisors like Vmware Workstation Player or Oracle VirtualBox

My first PC Build – Help & Tips

My first PC Build – Help & Tips – Learning Material Used

I recommend Intel Processors due to the fact are used by Apple Macs hence is supported/you-can-build a Hackintosh system or run a Virtual Machines(VM) and have as guest platform MacOS in addition to the normal Windows 10 or Linux VMs…
I recommend pickup the items you want but Not purchase them at the moment,… but await a Holiday Discount period to buy them under discount… I buy most items under Black Friday(BF) period at 20% Off. You can buy at BF if USA store or at Prime Day from Amazon or at Xmas etc
