Need some help with self build purchasing advice please

What's your budget on just the motherboard bud? I'll help you shop on Carbie - I LOVE hunting down deals I used to only buy Intel, but the fact that they change sockets like I change my underwear got old real quick. I went AMD a year ago and never been happier

I don't really have a budget for individual parts, I just know I have a total budget of R13 000, just trying to put an entry level gaming PC together that can be upgraded in about a year or two.

Might be worth while to go for the non F 11400 cpu with an integrated gpu which is R500 more. That way you could save up for a proper gpu or wait for a good gpu deal here on carb and still have a fully functioning pc while you wait.

Having an integrated gpu is a great asset for troubleshooting purposes, can be quite handy sometimes.
