This is gonna be my first time building a gaming pc. This is gonna be played on my 1080p tv. My budget is $1200. I could be pushed to maybe spending a little bit more depending on what it is. I don't have any plans for overclocking at this point. I just need opinions on this. All I have bought so far is the video card and dvd drive. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
