I didn't pick a harddrive yet because..sadly this AMD mATX mobos doesn't have SATA III (but it does have the USB3.0 that I want), so no SSD's for me...probably just going to go with some 1TB HDD
Also, is my mobo capable of handling cpu and gpu OC'ing?
My budge is: $600ish, not including the monitor
This system will mainly be used for:
Games (all max settings): D3, Dota2, Heroes of Storm, other similar games
Movies: 1080p
Work: CAD and photoshop (a little bit)
I would like this system to be a little future proof too (maybe 3+ years?)
Thank you for the feedback! I look forward to suggestions as well!
