Hey guys, I'm trying to build my first PC and have done some research but I wanted to know what you guys think of this items list. Will it all be compatible and also is it worth building individually or should I just buy a pre-made PC? It will mostly be for schooling/business planning/photo editing. I appreciate any constructive feedback stay blessed and God Speed.

Hey Jay,
If that's the kind of budget you are working with, I'd recommend to build yourself for optimal value and performance.

Even though the parts are on the lower end of the scale, the performance will be sufficient for the workloads you listed.
