Hi!
I'm after some advice on my first ever PC build. As I want to get into some gaming and laptops seem to expensive. Plus it's a present for christmas. And I'm wondering if I've headed in the right direction?
I'll be using it for gaming and abit of web surfing mainly.
Games I'm thinking of buying with this are FPS,action shooters. ( BF3,Splinter Cell series, Hitman, Crysis series etc.
