First time building a computer so kind of excited. I've been tempted to not even have an optic drive. I have two external harddrives which I usually save my larger video files.
Here is a build that I put together I'm very open to critiques or if you notice large flaws http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1xKNt
my biggest concern is the MOBO and Optic drive
Approximate Purchase Date: within the month preferably this or next week
Budget Range: Under 2000 when all said and done
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Almost exclusively gaming, and maybe streaming (capture card??)
Are you buying a monitor: No will be using my acer p235h
Parts to Upgrade: Everything but peripherals
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None in particular but newegg, amazon, micro center, and tiger direct have treated me well in the past
Location: Columbus, OH
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I will be using wifi but only for the next few months until i move (I have a USB network adaptor; do you think I should purchase a network card?) Capture card (for streaming)? Some times use video editing software like adobe premiere and sony vegas. My headset is the Astro's A40's if that' useful. I don't usually play graphic intensive games my usuals are: LoL,DAoC, D3,TF2.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Having issues with my old computer (over 7 years old) and wanted to update to hopefully last a long time
