Hey guys/gals,
I just wanted to see what you guys thought about my gaming build. My target price is $1000 but I am willing to go over by $100 (no more). I have some limited knowledge of computer parts. I know my way around but I am no expert like some of you guys are. I built this looking to play games like BF3,BF4, other high end games for the conceivable future. I am replacing my old laptop so I need everything: mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers.
So, what do you guys think?
