Interested in getting the most for my money...first time building from scratch.searching for some opinions from experienced gamers and builders. I chose to go for the antec 1200 v3 full tower case... mainly for LOOKS i love blue led's ..and cause it's a sturdy steel/plastic full tower with good space and potential..I have chosen to buy the kmdpower 750w psu. With blue led fan...and I bought two extra 120mm fans. blue led's as well.. at last I bought windows 8.1 .. This is all I own right now. And this is the list of components I look to soon buy.. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/richard20sanchez/saved/3Imo .. I'm building this mainly for gaming. Burning/downloading music. Minimal video editting and internet browsing.. Budget Around 2300-2500$$ ANY ADVICE or opinions is appreciated thank you..
