I have been very interested and intrigued by computers for several years now, bought an older gaming rig and tinkered with it, but never have I built my own. So I'm going for it. My budget is around 1500 US dollars and I mainly play RTS games along with some RPGS (LoL, Fallout, Skyrim) I have absolutely ZERO knowledge in overclocking therefor I built a non-OC system (for now) and I need you guys to look it over and give me a few tips and pointers from your experience.
This is just a very rough idea as I whipped it up in around 1 afternoon, so if you have suggestions I'm all ears!
