I've never built a computer before, and my friend helped me come up with this (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/10aiA) rig, and I'm just wondering if this is the most bang for my buck, and also, if there's any tips you guys can give me going into building it. My understanding is that building a computer isn't really that hard, you just follow instructions, but I may be totally wrong.
My budget for this build is about $600-700. I have a little bit of wiggle room, but I'm only 16, and I'm gonna be working a summer job to pay for it.
Oh, also, I'm going to be playing games at 1600x1200, and I'm content with playing most modern games on medium settings. My current PC is barely capable of running Civ 5 at 1280x1024.
