This will be my first build. I've played on consoles for quite a while now and have decided that this is the optimum time to move over to pc gaming. The so-called master race.
Anyways, i don't plan on playing that many games. I'll mostly be playing games my friends play, being bf4 and guild wars 2. On terms of overclocking, i don't think i'll do that now but down the road i hopefully will. This computer wont be used much outside of that realm besides occasional web browsing.
I do know that the graphics card isn't all that impressive but i'm simply looking for one for now. I will most like upgrade to something better in a year or two but for now, I've heard that this is enough. I already have a storage device by the way.
On a side note, could someone make an estimate of how long the lifetime on the build should be?
That about covers it so critique away and thank you to all who reply.
