Hello all,
I am building myself a new computer. I will use it for work, but nothing crazy (perhaps a little bit of photoshop). Mostly it'll be for general web use and gaming. Also, I have one 1920 x 1080 monitor.
How does this build look? I'm mostly unsure about the motherboard, case, and GPU, but any and all advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I'd like to keep it in the $1,400 range, but it's not a hard cap if there is a really big upgrade to be had for not much more.
Thank you.
