Hi, let me say that I am no computer expert and therefore I may be doing a lot of mistakes by wanting all of these computer parts
(here is my current build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1uEMA )
With that out of the way I have several questions,
First - I don't think I will overclock my computer but the unlocked processor is easier to find where I live, should I go for it (even though it is a little bit more expensive) or should I look harder for the locked counterpart?
Second - I don't know that much about motherboards but I went with this asus one, is it overkill? Should I get a cheaper one? Or is it the other way around, is it not good enough?
Third and last one - Pretty much the title question, is this good for gaming? Are there any changes (video card for example) I should be doing so that I can play games like Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 at (at least) medium to high configurations? I don't consider going that much over the price of 1300$ btw
