Good day,
I am seriously considering building a PC (Bad time, I know), and I've spent the last while doing some research. My goal is to get one up and running maybe without a dedicated GPU and without any immediate plans to game on it until I find a good deal. After some looking, I decided that a sweet spot for me might be an i5 11400, because it seems to be the best deal for the price. While I was looking up compatible parts for it, I stumbled upon this deal from Evetech.
It's an "upgrade bundle" with an i5 11400 CPU, an Asus Rog Strix Z490-H motherboard, and 16 GB Klevv Bolt X ram. The total price for the upgrade bundle is R8,700, and the total price for all of those components individually from Evetech is R12900. This seems like a great deal, but I'm very inexperienced, and I know that sites like Evetech are not strangers to excessive markup, so I would love to know if this is worth the money, and what else might be better for the money. I would also appreciate any feedback on the components themselves, and whether they're good parts, and also any advice on using them properly.
Thanks for the help, I'm very new to this, and it's a lot of money, so I would be great if I didn't mess it up.
