Additional Comments: I need a computer very soon because my current laptop was in an accident. I am looking for a gaming rig but do not have a lot of cash up front right now. I know that I do not have the best budget. I would like to keep the cost low by not getting top of the line components off the bat. Instead, since my need for a computer is urgent, I would like a machine that is very adaptable and can easily be upgraded over the next year. I assume this would mean that a lot of money would be initially sunk into the motherboard and processor.
