Hello all,
I have not built a system since 7 years ago. I am building a system that will be used primarily for gaming (BF4, MMO, and a few other newer titles), working remotely through a VPN network, and other standard computer stuff (music, movie storage, document management, statistical analysis, and minor presentation creation). Please review the build below and give me your feedback. I also want to know if i should go ahead and order the parts now or wait 2 weeks and see if i cannot save a few bucks. Budget is not a concern (within reason) and i am not sure what i want will necessarily have any sales so unsure if waiting is worth it (chomping at the bit to get off gaming on a laptop). I struggled finding a good case as there are just a lot out there and i am not looking for something flashy. I would prefer simple look.
