Hello all,
I'm am avid gadget enthusiast, but this is my first build in ages. I'm getting away from Macs. I have a budget of around $620 and need another pc very bad. I do programming javaFx, android, VS Studio. I haven't pc gamed in a while (my current laptop is crap), but may get back into it. I want to play Wargame Airland Battle on high settings and maybe BF3/4. From reading your post please tell me which one of these builds you would prefer. Suggestions welcomed.
