Hi I'm new to the pc gaming community. I'm planning on building a PC for the first time. So heres what I've got so far.
So is this a good build? Also my friend tells me to go with AMD processor instead of intel. Any reason why one is better than the other? Anything that I'm missing? What is a SSD used for I was told to just get one? Also keep in mind I'm going from a MacBook pro with an i3 to whatever I end up building. Also is this as good as an Alienware? Another friend of mine swears by them.
Thanks again for the help.
