I'm going to be putting together my first completely from scratch gaming rig.
I've done a little bit of research on the best budget and price to performance ratio from parts.
I'm looking for suggestions as in, parts that perform better for less or only slighter more money.
Also, it will take me approx 3 months to put this together and I don't want it horribly outdated.
My PC games include Skyrim, the Witcher 2, Crysis 3, Metro Last Light, demanding titles like those.
So keep that in mind.
I'm eager to hear suggestions on how you would improve this rig and why so I can learn constructively.
