One problem with these combined boards for a beginner is they look good with being cheap but one mistake, easy for beginner and experienced user, [ don't ask ] and you have fried the lot.
Many of these cheap boards come direct from China with zero support.
The result is many beginners loose heart and drop the project.

used to do a combined board, the system 3 but dropped it in favour of the System 4 that has plug in cards, fry an axis and you are just the driver card out of pocket.
Believe me when I say drivers are the weak link in a CNC system and that is one reason not to skimp on this component.
You need a reliable driver that has support.John S -
