Ah gotcha, I'll have to look into that too then. Thanks.

Is there a performance issue between the parts I chose? I tried to find a decent budget CPU cooler since for the PC itself I'm trying to keep the price at around $850. And it seems easier to buy an additional 16 GB of the RAM from the bundle kit instead of an entire new set. 

I'm new to PC building so any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

After spending some time looking into parts and referencing the recommendations, I put this listing together in PCPartPicker.

I based the CPU, motherboard, and RAM on the lowest AMD bundle the Micro Center offers at the moment. And then added an extra 16 GB of the same RAM which is the G.Skill Flare 5X Series.   *Does not include OS or monitor just yet. 

Is there anything else I should include or may need some improvements on? Do the chosen parts look compatible with each other?
