I am here to build a gaming PC when December hits. I will be mostly gaming and slight running virtual machines. I will overclock when I want more performance and will pick a CM Hyper 212 Evo afterwards.
What do you think as my first build?
What will be the future is this FX processor in the next 2-3 years? I want to know if its still worth it to get an FX today because Steamroller may come out in the next 6 months or so.
Thanks.
