Heyo. I got this motherboard gifted from my dad and was wanting to build my first gaming PC with it. Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated! Budget is tight since I’m about to start college very soon. I don’t care if the parts are used or new. Just want a great starter build that I can upgrade later down the road.

Is this PC too overkill?

Hello! I'm new to building a PC and would really appreciate some advice before I order my parts.

I'm from Sweden, and my budget is around $3,000. But I'm willing to spend more if it means the PC will last longer without needing upgrades, though I don't want to spend money on something unnecessary.

I mainly play World of Warcraft and as I understand the current build might be a bit overkill. Would it make sense to downgrade anything?

For the fan setup, I'm thinking of replacing the standard fans on the AIO with reverse-blade fans, mounting the radiator on the side as intake, and using reverse fans at the bottom with two standard fans at the rear as exhaust. Would this setup make sense?

I appreciate all input!
