Never built a PC before, but thought it was a good time to get started on it!

I already got the tower, CPU and motherboard. Someone was getting rid of that specific tower and they wanted it gone - it was basically free! (aka a glorified curbalert)

I chose that CPU cause I don't want to spend money on a GPU, yet. Not looking yet into AAA gaming, at most I'll start with my Steam indie backlog 😁

Thanks!

I'm no super guru -- I last put together a PC in 2021 -- but this all looks fine to me. You'll be able to upgrade to a dedicated GPU once you feel constrained by the integrated graphics, and that's pretty much the only thing I'd worry about.
