I post earlier a day or 2 ago about a build. I decided to up my budget a bit, and after a bit of searching I came up with a new build. Basically I want to know if I could do better at the current price that the build is at, or if there are any modifications that would improve overall.
I will be using this for gaming purposes. I don't do any video editing, or anything like that. I will be using one monitor to start and may use my TV occasionally (46inch samsung LED 120hz 1080p).
I won't take anything personally, I appreciate any input on the matter. Thanks in advance.
