I an currently looking for a good gaming pc for me, and have been told many different things. Ive looked on craigslist, but im not sure if its better to just buy the parts and build it myself. I figured if i bought the parts and built it, itd be better because theyd be specific as to what type of gaming i do.
The games I play consist of WoW, Diablo 3, Tera, Combat Arms, Soldier Front, Skyrim, and DC Universe Online.
When people say that i wont be able to play the newest games at ultra, it doesnt really bother me. I dont play games like BF4, CoD, Crysis, etc.
This is the build i have so far, thanks to logainofhades

A little pricey for me, but im just curious to see how big the difference is between a $700 pc and a $600 pc
Thank you everyone
