Hello everyone, I am new here to Tom's and need some advice gathering parts for my first build. My laptop is near its end and I would like to switch to a something more powerful and capable of playing video games. I would like this to be able to play upcoming games in 2014 and beyond and I also plan to upgrade parts everyone 2-4 years. Thanks in advance for your input.
