Alright so I built this back in September 2013 before AMD release the R9/R7 series.
I built this for pure gaming max everything 60+ in all games is what I wanted and still have it seems. my monitor is a HP w22 1680 x 1050 60hz 5ms no LED.
I wanna know what you guys think of this build?
This is what it was at first, had to replace the PSU (Darn Raidmax), and I got a new CPU cooler
And this what it is now.
