This is compiled from feedback from my first thread, and I wanted to get even more variety from the community before I begin my planning.
I have no idea what fans, radiators, airflow configurations to use, feedback would be appreciated.
I plan to use this rig for gaming, but I also add the 16GB of RAM for a bit more flexibility in regular use.
I'm a bit reluctant on the storage options I've made. Please help me with those.
I'm somewhat amateur, where I've read articles and watch PC build guides, but I've never had the available resources to physically build my own.
All products and prices are from Amazon.
My budget would have to be around $1350, but if it HAS to, I could probably go anywhere up to $1450.
If there are any huge things incoming in the tech world, please tell me, as I don't want to end up being outdated within months of buying.
Also, if you think there's a monitor or speaker that would be well suited to my hardware and needs, as well as having longevity to go with this project, please include that in your response.
This project will need some long-term plotting, as I'm going to want to be able to stick with this rig for quite a long while, as $1200 is quite a large figure to me at this point in life.
