Looking at building my first PC rather than go with next gen consoles. Using it as a media center, but I also want serious graphics performance without having to upgrade for a while.
Don't want a jet engine in my living room. Can you guys help me balance power, noise, and budget? I know this is sort of high-end, but I don't want to have to upgrade constantly. And I do want a great graphics experience.
Using 1080p TV. Tried to pick a case that isn't too ugly for my wife's living room, and not so small for hot gaming parts and my inexperience at building.
Is this overkill? Suggestions? Thanks!
