Want a gaming computer, I have put together a list of parts and would like advice on if this will work, so I can go ahead and purchase, or if some adjustments need to be made.
Also would like advice on if there are areas i'm spending more money than I need to, (i.e. cheaper parts that work just as well) or areas where I perhaps need to invest more money.
