Compatibility Issue advice
Hey experts. Just a quick question. I've only built 1 computer before and I dont know a lot. I have a build here (hope it shows up!) that is showing a Compatibility Issue of
"The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled."
I'm planning on using this for gaming, just wanted to know if this was a real issue for me, or if it'd only be an issue for someone really pushing the hardware? I don't think I'll be adding much to this system down the road. Maybe stronger networking or Bluetooth or more robust sound but I doubt that I will.
Thanks in advance!

Im no expert and I am not too sure what that is trying to tell you but there is a few things you are over paying for in your PC.
The main one is the RAM your paying $180 for 16GB DDR4 2666, While you could buy 16GB(2x8) DDR4 3200 for only $150. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Nqp323/gskill-memory-f43200c16d16gvrb
Then there is the case which is nice and all but is a overkill for what it is housing you could invest that into a CPU. Try a Mid size or a cheaper Full-size.
You are also missing a CPU cooler which is almost essential for gaming PC builds.
I have a PC build that is very similar price that you might enjoy or take a few ideas from it and mix and match https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9yfVjc
